Mr. Pinder, opening tee awe for defendant, said their
decession in animas involved more than the few pounds
of the claims. It was, he said, an ansorupolouri attempt
*a the pert of two attorneys and defendant's son, to
saddle defendant with a debt whieh all mast have known
be was *ever morally or legally liable. The defendant
was rector of Overshot, don to "Ibis city ; " be had •
family of rhea children, awl a beuefin worth from
1150 to 8300 • year. The son wea 26 years of age.
When with Mr. &who. be did not goon satisfactorily,

, which his Inbar 'misted him for his own pleasure, finding
whisk he arranged that the young .mita should send his
, lodging bill. to him, and he would return cheques
payable to the order of the landlady. There was no
protean for ale learned friend's suggestion that defend-
ant took the lodgings for his son; the milldams the
father gave was merely a kind voluntary est. He
quoted the tune of Mortimer v. Wright in which Mr.
I Jetties Jarvis hid It down that a father was not liable

Abinger oommenting on it said a father sal no more
liable for a son who was of age than a brother or as
anal.—
The Judge :Or "my aunt.'
Mr. Finder: Ifs father turned his son on the world,
his only resort in toe absence of anything to sho• •

would take the necessary steps to enforce whatever
liability the father bad.
