HUSBAND NOT LIABLE.
Need Not Pay Wife's Bills Under Ger
tain Circumstances.

An important decision is recorded in
an oxford county rescript handed down
by Justice King of the supreme court
The rescript is on the action Of H. l..
S;ienfield VS.. Henry Girrard, in which
the defendant is sued to recover for
goods sold to his wife while she was
living APART from him. 1t has been
commonly supposed that man was re-
sponsible for any necessary bills con-
tracted by his wife during separation,
but Justice King decides otherwise.
The ruling is on exceptions taken in
the lower court and holds that when a.
wife deserts her husband without his
fault she fcrfeits all right to support
and maintenance from him and in such
case has no authority to use his credit,
even for neceSsaries.
Justice King further holds that the
authority OF wife to SO use her hus-
bands credit exists only with her ne
ccssity through the lack of a husband
to fulfil his duty in this respect and
ceases when such neglect on his part
IS stopped, and that after his whole duty
mas been performed there can be no
necessity for her to legally contract
bills in his name. If there is any pre-
sumption of agency on the part of the
wife to contract debts it is rebuttab BILE
and may be disproved by the husband
The final paragraph of the decision
hclds that if woman is living apart
from her husband through no fault of
his. and that he is willing and able to
provide for her home and all neces-
saries, he is not liable for any debts
that sha may contract and that ignor-
ance of the facts on the part of a mer-
chant does not make him liable.

He suffered so terribly that my hus-
band said he believed he would have

when lady friend told me to try the
Cuticura Remedies. 1 used the Cuti-
cura Soap and applied the Cuticura
Ointment and he at once fell into a
sleep, and he slept with ease for the
first time since two months. After
three applications the sores began to
dry up, and in just two weeks from the
day l commenced to use the Cuticura
Remedies my baby was entirely we'll.
The treatment only cost me 75c, and L
