ACTION tote THE MAINTENANcE or A WI rE.—
At the Manchester Court°, Rectittl Thomas Mostyn For-
rest, of Choritomon-31edlock, brought an action to re-
cover 61. !is. 10d. from William Heury M. Ward, of
Hahne, for necessaries supplied to the defendant's wife.
The defendant pleaded 'Never indebted." From the
evidence of Mrs. Ward. it appeared that she married the
defend int in Mel. Almost from the timo of her mar-
riage she had reason to complain that he did not furnish
her with sufficient money to keep house with.
He only „rive her a shilling or half-a-crown at a time,
sod she could nut get sufficient food with the money be
gave her. Her parents had to supply her with fool from
time to time. Her husband was clerk to Mr. Itrigsby,
architect, of Manchester, and, she understood, earned 21.
per w..ek. She complained to him about the allowance,
and he said he would not give her any more. On several
occasions she went and stayed at her parents for seine
days. Ou one occasion when she so left him he gave the
furniture away to his friends, and went to live with his
mother for a few months. She returned to him afterwards,
and they took lodgings, but he did got alter in the
matter of allowance for food. All that he allowed her,
when she was confined to her bed and had to have
a nurse, was 145. per week, to pay for everything that
was molted in the house. On one occasion he used each
violent language that the nurse bad to fetch a policeman.
He crested the disturbance because he sew that she bad a
chicken to eat, and was angry at her having gone to such
en expense, whilst the fact was that it had been sent to
her by her mother. After this row the puree sent for her
parents, and ill as she was they took her away in a cab. She
did not sec her husband again uutil his return
from Germany, four years afterwards. He met her
one day in May. IFififf, and induced her to
go and live with him at 84, Halstomstreet,
He again only allowed her Its. per week, and .lid
not increase the sum when she was confined to bed and
had to have a nurse in April last. The nurse only stayed
three weeks, and she was then left alone to manage the
house and take care of the child. At last her husband's
mother came to stay with them, and he had the house en-
tered in hi+ mother's name. On the 21st of May they had
some words about this, and in the counte of the day sue
went to me her mother. She was returning home, and on
the way she saw her husband and his mother going towards
the house. and her husband gave his mother the key of the
house in her presence. She (witness) went for aid, and
got • key from a neighbour, with which she opened the
door. Whilst she was in the passage or lobby her husliand
came op. struck her on the side of the face, end knocked
her down ser.seless. When she recovered herself her
mother-in-law ordered her out of the place, saying that
she had bought the furniture. She then went to live with
her father, the plaintiff, and hail lived with him from that
time. The Recorder told the jury that Mrs. Ward was
not justified in staying away from her husband, supposing
that eveu all the evi Pence she hail given was proved. A
consultation then took place, which coded in an
meat that a juror should be withdrawn, which was agree.
Mr. Rdwards added that be should, had the case proceeded,
have called the defendant and his mother to prove that on
violence had ever been need. All that he did was that, is
opening the door, he accidentally pushed his wife down.
