illtnery furnished lay the plaintiff, a nullifier and fancy-dress eikker
fit Princes-street; Cavendish glove, to` the wife *of the defendant,
taylor, residing in Cork-street, Burlington Gardens. The defence
set np was that the ataielea charged were furnished without the
knowledge of the defendant and were riot suited lo her station
life. 'there was also credit 'given by the plaintiff for a payment of •
151. ou amount.
Mr.,Park for the plaintiff proved llredelivertof articles' of drees
for Mrs. Cox and her daughter in thirteen months to more than the
Automat of the itlim which the plaintiff sought to recover. It ap-
*gated that the defendant at the time.the goods were furnished, wes
Illviag in in elegant houSe in Cork-street, and bad also his country •
&nage at Hide, on the Edgeware-road that he kept his hunter and
dived otherwise in a respectable style. The witnesses further stated'
that-the prices 7lia

by Mrs. Cou's direction at he sister's, Miss Metcalf.
Mr. Gurney for the defendant contentended that these were arti-
cles nut suited to thelondition of the defendant, and that they wele•
furnished entirely without his knowledge or consent.

linykband was to be bound by the debts of the wife for articles fur.
pished to her tmktiown to him, if such articles were unfitted to her
:station in life, MOOS he, by his own mode of living, gave thy world
season. to
,suppose his circumstances superior to what they res!ly
sivre. In the present case, it did not appear that the conduct of
i
defendant
had been such as to favour such a deceit; and it wool"
te for the jury to say, whether fancy dresses, embncsed veils, anti
imilar articles, to the amount of 1001.. and upwards, were neces--
'pry appendages to a taylor's wife, in the•cmirse of not more than
:thirteen months. One delivery had been proved to which he mast
'particularly call the attention of the Jury, that V4' IS, the delivery
,of articles to the amount of 211. lOs. at Mrs. C.'s sister's. This
:could only, be done to deceive the husband, and therefore lie
?honk] advise the Jnry to lay tilt? entirely aside.
, The Jar?, ilter a short deliberation, found a verdict for the
damages 16s. after deducting the set off of 551. and
211. 101. tat the goods delivered at the sister's.
