A case of some Importance 10 married
men who have extravagant wives, was
decided in the Supreme Court of New
York last week. The plaintiff, Mary
A. Douglass, is fashionable dress
maker in the upper part of the CITY of
New York, and the defendant, Chas. NJ.
Mayer, man OF large wealth recently
returned from Mexico and California.
In the spring of 1866 Mayors wife
bought two bills Of goods of plaintiff,
consisting of dresses and other female
wearing apparel, amounting in the ag-
gregate to about $500. The wife had
previously purchased similar goods of
plAntln and the bills had been paid by
ner nus oAnd, the defendant, but as to the
TWO ol4ls In suit, the husband set up as
q uSIence tnat ms wife had left him and
MS mouse Just before the first purchase
without any just cause or proyocation
and that she remained away from him
for long time; that the articles r,nr-.
chased were not necessaries, bur l,'xI,-
ries, she having at the time at least
s., 600 worth of good clothing of the
latest fashions, and enough TO last her
for six years; as the husband said on
the witness stand. DR.. Mott was put
on the stand by plaintiff to show the
wealth and station in society of the de-
PENDANT. he said he had visited the
family professionally; he was called to
attend upon them when they had rooms
at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, which, as he
understood from the defendant, were as
expensive as $50 per day. Witness had
always understood the defendant to be
man of wealth; his wife always
dressed extensively and with good

Several other witnesses were exam
ined, and at the conclusion the Court
charged the jury briefly on the points
OF the law in the case. He said,thRt q
husband must provide for his wife he
was bound To dress her in accordance
with his means and his station in life.
But wife had no business to run her
husband in debt, and if she left him
and his house without cause, he was
bound to provide her even with the ne
cessaries of life. As long as she staid
with him and discharged her duties as
wife, he must provide for her, but if
with no provocation she left him, the
case was different. In this case it was
shown that the dresses, &c, were ex-
pensive, (some of the dresses costing as
high as $780, and from all the evidence,
1t was certain that they were not ne
cessaries. But there was another ques-
ton tor the jury. The wife had bought
pills OF similar goods before, and these
pills had been duly paid by the hus-
band. Had the plaintiff received no.
uce that the husband and wife had sep
arated Did the husband notify the
dressmaker that he would pay no more
bills of his wife's contracting? 1t was
for the jury to say whether a notice of
this nature was brought to plaintiffs
knowledge. The jury after a brief con-
sultatiOn, rendered a verdict for the
plaintiff for the full amount claimed.
