Error to Wayne Circuit.

Opinion:
Christiancy, J.
A-wife may maintain an action of trespass for an asault aud battery upon herself without joining her husband as co-plaintiff. See O. L., § 3292. On the other hand, for damages accruing to the husband from assault upon his wife, as for loss of assistance and society, expenses, etc., he alone could sue. Judgment reversed.
