with an officer, and saw him put his hand in several
pockets, but he got nothing. The only article found
upon him thatezcited any suspicion was an empty red

by the driver if be, Mr. W. would want tickets* be-

Act, said, that the refusal to give a ticket did not
sitbject hius to any penalty.
The Magistrate wished the mats:iat linifietiF to
.know, and to communicate the information 'to his
brethren, that the conviction was under 9 Anne,
made perpetual by 1 Geo. I. for " abusive language
and other rude behaviour," which accompanied the
refusal of the ticket. The mere refusal carried its
iron penalty with it, loss of fate, as no one was
bound to pay without a ticket; but if that refusal
were accompanied by "abusive language, or any
other rude behaviour," then was the case brought
within the old acid useful Act of Anne. The man
paid the fine.

_ the husband would be destroyed. The
law as it stands, allows a man only to be responsible
for the OM:marry debts, or those incurred for the
support of hastwife and children. The debt in this
elk was not Necessary, because the woman might
lb. been supplied in her husband's house, and if
"be flied abandoned her home Without her husband's
010s:ion she bad forfeited all right to make con-
tracts- in itis mime. Mr. Agar contended, on the
dicta of Jedges Itayesimd, Bailer, Blackstone, and
ethers, that if a woman elopes rom her husband's
house without his consent, st tradesman who supplies
her with ntboesseriestannut make her husband liable.
If‘ an attempt was made to fix theltddlitind' with a
debt of that sort, the Plaintiff was bootid
.tn show
that his wife eloped either in consequence of op-
preesiensor that the husband consented to let her go.
let this case there had been no consent on the part of
the husbana, and therefore he could not be liable.
Mr. STOWS', on the same side, said, the question
was, whether a husband is liable for the debts of hit
wife, in case she elopes without his consent. The
Courts bad decided *hat a wife is incapable of mak•
ingest', contract to bind the husband, unless it is such
a canttact as implies his consent. In this case a ter—,
solnation had been put to the right which the law
gine a wife to contract debts payable by her husband,
therefore be husband was not liable, and the verdict
could not stand.

AN APOTHECARY'S BILL.

• »Ise action was brought by a medical man, to re-
aler 81. Os. for medicines and attendance. There
Ins no defence, but before the June addressed the
jury, he observed, that it had been doubted whether
a medical practitioner can charge for attendance. He
adVerted to the case of fowler, an eminent apotbe•
carp, against the executors of the Duke of Queens..
berry, in which the question was discussed. He had
heard medital men lament that they were not allowed
to charge for attendance.
Mr. Hitt said, one of the charges in the Plain.
tiff's bill was for business done as an acconcheur, who
certainly could charge for attendance.
,Joni -Does not an accoacheur come under the
exception 7
Mr. HA trt.—No. It is for so act done. I hare
ittintrail in this Court, twenty midwives succeed in
charging fof attendance.
The question being left to the Jury, a verdict was
OM% for the Plaintiff.
