A BAD CAUSE.
Henry cause was charged with larceny of
some ur1fture from Henrietta WilliamS IL
was shown in evidence that Cause and Hen
rletta had been living together as man and
VIE Tor several years, and that Cause had
purchased this furniture and gave IL 10 Hen
rietta. Counsel for defence asked a dismiss
Sal, on me ground that there being no mar
rage, Henrietta could claim no privileges
as wife. IRE court remarked that neither
could cause make any such claim as hus-
band. 1t was not the policy of the govern
ment 10 encourage this common habit of
illicit relations between the sexes. II was
the duty OF every man and woman TO get
married, and live together properly; but ANY
man who would forsake a woman and take
away her furniture, as in this case, was no
man at all. The order of the court is that ne
restore the goods or the equivalent in money,
or go TO jail for sixty days.
