A question OF interstate comfy. under the provi-
! sions OF Article " OF the Constitution OF the
United States, which requires that full faith ana
credit shall be given in each State to the judicial
proceedings OF every other State. was decided In the
| Supreme Court Of the United States today. Ella
L. Rgney obtained divorce in New-Jeraey from
Thomas G. Rlgney, by a decree obtained under a
supplemental complaint which gave her allmony
| In the sum OF s45 a week Subsequently Rgney
| moved 10 New-York and married Abbie Ahern. and
| Mrs Rigney became Ella l.. Laing. Rigney having
| paid no par, OF the costs almony under the
decree Of the New-Jersey Court. Mrs Laing sued
| her delinquent ex-husband in New-York to re-
cover the amount due Rlgney contested the suit
on the ground that service upon him under the
supplemental bill had without the State OF
New-Jersey and that therefore the courts Of that
State had no persona. jurisdiction over him. Tnis
contention was affirmed by the highest OF the
State OF New-York the result being 10 relieve Rig
ney Of the effects Of the New-Jersey decree. Mrs
Lalng brought the case 10 the supreme Court OF
the United States and justice Shiras, after
Viewing the facts stated that Risney could not
avail himself Of the decree Of the New-Jersey court
so as TO marry again and repudiate the financial
obligations II entaied upon MIN. The judgment OF
the New-York court was reversed
