A ssn.In.Law Not Bound TO support
the Father of His VITO.

An Ohio Judge has recently deliv-
cred a decision which, aside from It's
adverse importance to the paternal
parents of large families Of marriages.
Bile daughters, may have considerable
to do with the increase of matrimonial
alliances In the future. At least 1t re-
moves all doubt rs to the total absolu-
ton of the son-in-law to maintain the
authors of his partner IN conjugal
bliss, so far as the legal obligation is
concerned.
The suit in which this opinion was
announced WAS brought by a father-in-
law against n son-in-law, upon q con-
tract, the father alleging that before
his daughter married he was living
with her In the West, aud that the
young man, when living in Ohio,
wrote to him that If he would come
there and bring his daughter, that he
would marry her, and that the old gen.
tlemau should always have q home
with them !; and in accordance with
this understanding they moved East,
and the young couple were married.
The question came incidentally before
the Court whether a son-in-law was
legally bound to support the father Of
his wife, In the absence of. any specific
contract. The Court held that he was
not : that when u young man married
he took no such legal obligation upon
himself.
The decision will open the way for
all who may have had m~lsgivings upon
this point, and definitely determine, as
well, the greatly agltated question
about marrying the whole family"
Since this Ohio jurist has given a
decision upon one side Of the question,
we advise him, il he desires to make
himself popular among the young men,
to hold that the father-in-law Is bound
to support his son-in-law. For such a
decision he can find thousands Of prece-
dents, ~agreeably to the maxim that
''custom makes law."--Enchangc.
