Paying a Wife's Bills.

FROM the New iork liiheS'
The question of exactly how far a
man is responsible for goods, etc, fur
nished by tradesmen to wife from
whom he is separated, was presented in
tee suit of Bartlett, Beery, Reed Il Go.
against Edmund Waring, which WAS
tried before Judge J. +. DAILY and II jury
in Part of the Common Pleas, yester-
day. The action was brought to recover
for two dresses and some kid gloves,
besides loan of money, furnished by
the plaintiffs to Warnings wife III June
and August, 1876. by way OF defense.
Waring urged that he had been separa-
ted from his wife, and that he had made
the latter a sufficient allowance to pro
vide for her necessities. Judge Daily, in
his charge, told the jury that when II
tradesman supplies married woman
with goods, with the expectation oi
having her husband pay the bills, he
takes the chance of three things-tirst, it
turning out that these goods are not
necessary Tor her or her condition In
life; or that the husband has supplied
her with all the money that Is necess-
ary; or that, although the goods are
SlllldDle lOT hti toiuitioh ih NV oiiN
has already supplied herself elsewhere
with what was necessary. AS to the
borrowed money, it was a question, he
thought, not Tree from difficulty either
lev the law of this State or by the law of
England. A late case in England goes
a great length in relieving the husband
from liability. The case was one where
the husband, living i'll Calcutta, had
sent his wife to England, giving her let
ters of credit upon a clearinghouse IN
the latter place. Alter arriving there
she found the bank had failed. Subse-
uuently, in order to return To her hus-
band, and being without means, She
went to the plaintiff in that case, and
borrowed the money to enable her to
do So. Even in that case il was held the
husband was not responsible. Ihat
was case so extraordinary in It's nature
that he Judge Dalyl would hardly feel
bound to follow il to that extent. He
considered il ought to he left to the ury
to sav whether i woman, being LETT
without necessary articles by her hus-
band, has not the right toborrow money
to procure them. The jury brought in a
verdict for the defendant.
