FLI6II/. This action was brought by the plaintiff, who was a linen draper in Marcloonont-street, Russell-square, to recover from the defendant, a livery Astable keeper,* sim.of 621. for goods delivered to his wif . Mr. Flight had turned his wife out of doors, sad r. fused even to clqkver her clothes .to her friends who applied for them, and thertibre she was utfi,i'ed to provide herself withnnore, fur. which the law made her lousbauti Tue defence was, that.the wife tied forfeited her claim tu provi sion fount her husband by adultery. The Lord Chief Justice said that it was absolutely necessary for the plaintiff to show that the wife was excluded from her Ism:band's house, without clothes : beeause otherwise this large quantity could not be necessaries, fur which alone,.in say case, 1110 husband would he liable. There were only two eases in which a man was liable for goods supplied to his wife ; one was the ordinal:l case where the ponies were living together, and the goods ordered by the wi.'e were sent home, in which case ascot was presumed ; and the oilier was, where the husband turned Isis wife away without cause, and then made himself liable fur necessaries suitable to her statics. Now, to show a prima facie liability, the evidence of Mr. Chambers was neces sary ; and that evidence must be taken altogether, as disclosing the cause for which Mr. Flight excluded his wife from his house, awl refused to pay the debt she had cuutracted. • The plaintiff was nousuited.

She found the curtains in flames, And w as so mistimed that she was taken ill of a fever neat home, and sinrtly lifter died. This action was now Inou;lit tun cover a proportionate part of the ;id guineas for the time subsequent to the death of the pupil. Mr. Platt, for the defendant, submitted to the Load Chief Justice, that as the consideration for whirl, the looney nits ad vanced had not wholly failed, the plaintiff could nut recover it in this form of action ; and he referred in sumort of his objec tion, to the case of " Taylor v. Ilsre," 1 Bus. and Put. New Rep. 260. The Lord Chief Justice observed that the payments for hoard and instruction at school were made at re•gnlar intervals, and therefore, in his judgment, were so divisible as to support the idiots in i.s present form. Ile would however, tske the opinion of the Juty on the question of tact, whether the agreenseut was for two years at ill events, er for two years if the pasties should live. The Jory found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 391. 7s. The Lord Chief Justice did not rise till five o'clock, And in timated, that in consequence of the srreor of business, and its slow pogrom, he should continue to take causes to that hour on future days.
