MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, XICKS'+•NdILL..

Yebray Daniel Lawler and 7 haws Lawler were in.
dieted for keeping. a diforderly houfe, namely. a
houfe in which mufic and dancing encouraged per-
Cons to affemble. The profecution was commenced
by the Society for the Suppreffion of Vice, tinder
the Mufic and Dancing Aft, patted in the asth of
Geo. 11. ; which fobjetts the parties, in cafe of con-
vietion, to a penalty of tool. It appeared that the
Defendants, Daniel Lawler and his brother, kept a
refpeitable houfe in Roll's Buildings, Chancery-lane,
where they taught dancing.; and, on certain days.
had a ball. The perfons admitted upon loch occafions
purchafed a ticket for balla guinea, which imitled
them to four admiffions. A ticket bad been granted
to Mr. Morgan, a member of the Society, for toe. 6d.
for an admitßon to the Dancing-room. formetly
Robins's ant:hoc-room, in Bream's-buildings, which
was delivered to a Police Officer of Hatton Garden.
Who gained admittance, and when the dance ended,
flatten couple of refpeBable perfons were fecured,
but releafed on giving their addrefs.
Several perfons who were at the dance reprefented
it as a place where the ftriaeft order was refereed.
A conflable, who refutes near, and who has known
the houfe as a dancing academy, kept by the father
of the Defendants, never had occafion to interfere, of
even heard of the leaft immorality in the bode.
Mr. Guam, as Colloid for the defendants, re-
probated the idea of bringing a profecutioo of this •
kind into a Court of jußice. An afeenbly-room,
where a father, as appeared in evidence, a very re-
fpeftable tradknian, bad given his daughters . the
privilege of fpending their evenings frequently, and
where good order was preferred. The learned
Condor referred to a trial in the Court of Illag's
Bench, precikly of the fame nature, in which the
plaiatiffs were nonfuited. and in which Lord Sewer
had given his decided opinion.
Mr. Metawaatro.—l do not fee that any impro-
priety has been carried on to warrant this profecution,
nor haveyre a complaint from one die ninghbooriag

JONES U. CHAMBERS, Hilt
Mr. Gress Rated, that this was an aElion brought
by the plaintiff. 4 Furnifhing Ironmonger in Bond-
erect, to recover of the defendant, a man of opu-
lence, and a Member of the late Parliament, a him
of 2131. for goods ordered by his'wife. The defen-
dant had paid 91. into Court for fuch goodies had been
delivered op to 1799; the queßion therefore was,
whether he would be entitled to diflinguifh the file of
the goods up to that period from tbofe which were
afterwards purchafed ? The plaintiff never law Mr.
Chambers, but received all his orders from the Lady.
From 1799 to 1804, a variety of articles were fent
to Huntingdon, Mint Farm. near Reigate, and to
Mrs. C.'s refidence._in Spring.areet. She nfed to

tertain no fufpicion (he was not living with her huh.

Come goods at her houfe, when he, or his workmen,
few The firft time, picked op the report that Mr. and
Mrs. Chambers did not live together. He immedi
ately flopped his hand, and coifed letting her have
any more of his property ; but, he conrmded, he
was entitled to be paid by the hulhand for what he
had fold upon his credit, before he was apprifed of
the feparation. If it could be proved that the plain-
tiff knew that they were living apart, and that the
Lady had no authority to order the goods, a differ-
ent queflion would arife ; but his rordfhip would
tell the Jury, that where parties had been living to-
cher, and a tradefman had been in the habit of
.
Tering goods to the order of the wife, he was not

bed-rooms on the firfl floor, two of them comeanni-
ling with each other. in one of there was Mrs.

removed into the other, which was contiguous to
her's. There was a partition, fo contrived as to
make it equivocal whether two beds were made ore
of, or Mrs. C. and the Captain contrived to content
themfelves with one. He had every reafon to fup-
Pole they wece living in a Lite of adultery ; but he
knew not (he had a hufband, till it was whifpered to

in the fame predicament as himfelf. having trotted
her to a lease amount. The wirocfs followed Mr.
Chambers to Boulogne. and procured the order an-
der which be had carried the goods away. He ad-
ded, that Mrs. C's children were living with her, and
hat among the snicks be furnithed were bolfters and

Mr. Barnett, an Attorney, proved that Mr. C.

Mr. EISILIIII laid, it
Mr. Chambers to deny that be was the hatband of
the Lady, though there was no evidence of that rela-
tion firbfifling between them. His client had no dif-
pofision to conceal an 7 thing from the Jury, or de.
fend himfelf on any principles which would not meet
with their approbation. The sedation of marriage,
Paid the Learned Counfel, is the molt important m
Society. riot only from the objet of it, but becaofe it
the foorce of all others; and it is t relation to uni-
rola!, that it is impollble to foppofe the law, which
ipplies to it, is not perfeftly *tied. The relation is
o fag fettled by the univerfal murk and
pradice of
the law : and 1 take it, I may lay down the law
thus t the hatband is not liable. in point of law, for
the mitre& of his wife ; but if a wife cohabits with
her hothead, it is evident that her contrail is the
&walk of the hatband, and that So purchafes for
is life iccordiag to his degree 111 life. This is (d-
-iciest evidence to coafider the contrail as made by
the hulband. If the wife is ((pirated by the hufband
taring turned her out of doors. he fetid& credit along
with her, and any tradefamait trek her with re.
forrenna In his degree fnr. ileac is turned eat with.
our • juo truer, the hufban.l is liable to Pay what ha.
tut i bat this credit is at the peril of

the imam who trulls ; and if it appears The has a fe-
palate maintenance, no anion can be maintained
again& the hatband. if there are deed► of fepara•
tom, and the allowance is not duly paid, the .law
allows the credits- to Rand in the place of the wife,
and to teceive from the hatband up to theellemand
which the wife has upon him. But if it turns out
the is living in adultery, the plaintiff cannot recover,
the Irutband is not liable for the debts of a wife who
is living in an adulterous intercourfe. He proceeded.
to obferve, that all the goods had been ordered by.
Mrs. C. but that the defendant, conceiving the had
not been living in adultery before December, 1799.
had paid into Court 91. to cover the articles 1;41
prior to that time, which amounted to 81. 161. 4d.
All the fubfequent articles were delivered when the
was living, in a lime of criminal intercourfe with Cap-
tain Caulfield, and her hufband was abroad. No
cohabitatim: on the part of the defendant had been
proved ; and therefore he fubmitted that, for all
above the 81. ,6s. ad. he was proteded In the me-

ney he had paid into Court.
Lord ELLE wanantro H.-0 Gentlemen, this is an
attion bi ought by Mr. Jones againft Mr. Chambers,
to recover a bill of aa3l. Ss. tad. for articles ordered
by his wife, and for which he contends Mr. C. is
chargeable. He is the hufband of a Lady of that
name, who applied at the houfe 57 the plaintiff, and
purchafed the goods in qiiellion. You have heard the
evidence as to her coming in a chariot, and giving
the orders ; it is therefore unneceffary for me to re-
peat it. It /Ines not appear that the hufband was
privy to the orders ; but he admits that, while
Ihe was living with him, he is liable to the amount
of her contra°. He had virtually fent her with cre-
dit down to the period of their figuration, sad he
contends that his refpnnfibility is coveted by the
payment 0(91. The queftion, therefore, only applies
to the goods forniffiell while Mrs. C. was living with
a petfon of the name of Caulfield. The Winte, you I
have heard, (peaks of the &nation of the beds, and
gives you the refult of his opinion r he bN no doobt
arty were living in adultery. Now a hullmarl.when his
wife elopes, and lives with an adulterer,is not sewer.
able for her contrails; for that credit which it is impli-
ed is gives on his behalf, is repelled by her living with
another MSC. There is, however, a circumftance in
this cafe which °mafiosi fame doubt in my mind,
and that is, the hatband. it appears, permitted his
children to be living with his wife ; to the extent of
their maintenance, therefore, I fhould think the haf-
band is chargeable. The articles are ferniffied for a
bottle in which the children refide. This makes it
quite a new cafe. Ido not recolleB any cafe where
a wife has eloped, and taken her children with her.
It raifes the queftion, whether the hufband is not
fabje° to that liability which he would otherwife
have been difeharged from, by the infidelity of his
wife ? If it appeals to you the children derived no
tomtit from the articles &mad, I fee nothing to
repel the ordinary confequence of eloping with an
adulterer; but fhould you be of opinian they were
beneficially provided for by them, then I ()odd have
foam difficulty in apportioning the amount. The
hatband foetus to have aquiefeed in his children's
living with his wife, and this is what a hufband fo
ftuated ought not to have done. It appears to me
that his fuffering his children to live with his wife
readers him liable to the interference of having fent
his credit with her : but for this circumfiance I fhould
have no doubt In laying that the hufband would to
uo extent be liable. Had he endeavoured to get the
tehildren back, it would lave altered the cafe ; hot
his permitting them to remain Items very much to
go to the coaftitutian of one family, and then it is
Clear the children molt be maintained at his expense.
1 repeat, I do not reeollett a cafe of this fort before.
If von think proper, you may feparate the demand,
diltinguifhin thofe articles of which the children had I
the benefit, from thole which are referable to luxury
and extravagance. You may excrcire your judg-
er/Int as to the extent of your vet dict."'
The Jury deliberated a conficiciable time, and re-
turned their verdiEt in favour of the defendant.
