all these conflicting claims, Il had been
suggested that the horse should be sold.
A lawyer. who appeared for the lady's
husband, stated that his client knew
nothing about his wifs's racs horses
snd cared less; and that he begged that
the application rs against himself might
be dismissed. with costs. The Master
OF the Rolls replied that the unhappy
gentleman was responsible for his wifs's
acts, and that II the lady sold the horse,
or otherwise parted with il, he would be
liable constructively for her contempt Of
court. and would have 10 60 10 prison
