LEGAL DECISION CONCERNING LADIES
CLOTHING. gentlemen are
probably not aware that they are the
owners, in the eye of the law, of the
clothing supposed to belong to their
wives. Such is the purport of a decis-
ion rendered by the court of appeals
OF Virginia, on Friday last. The par
nculars are thus reported in the Rich
mond Times about a year since a
woman, named Mary F. Hughes, stole
lot. of wearing apparel belonging to
a married lady or Middlesex county.
The. woman was arrested, and. after
examination in the lowe court, carried
before the Circuit Court of said county
The counsel of this woman demanded
her discharge on this ground That.
as she was charged with stealing
clothing belonging to Mrs. ia
was illegal, as no married woman own
ed her clothing, it being the property
OF her husband. The court refused
TO discharge the accused, but found
her guilty, and sentenced her to inn
prisonment for larceny-thus deciding
that a married woman docs own her
clothing. An appeal was taken, and
the case brought before the Court of
Appeals Itwas argued last term. and
on yesterday the decision was uiven
that the judgment of the lower court
should be reversed, thus showing that.
In the opinion of this court. the hus-
band owns his wife's CLOTHING. ~
