Head Matter:
WILLIAM D. MURRAY and another, Respondents, v. BERTHA REDELL, Appellant.

Opinion:
Judgment and order reversed, and case remitted to the Superior Court of Buffalo for a new trial, costs to abide event. Held, that Redell having adopted the minor child of his wife by a former husband and held him out to the world as his own son, the wife was not liable for the minor's support: and there being no evidence that the wife expressly charged her separate estate with the payment of the plaintiffs' claim, and none from which such a charge can be implied, the wife is not liable.
