About this Item

"Mr.Townsend opened the pleadings in this case. It was an action to cover the sum of £259.17s.3d for board and lodging, and necessaries supplied to the defendants wife. The defendant pleaded that the goods and necessaries were not supplied to his wife and this was the only issue raised by the pleadings. Mr.Sergeant Sullivan stated the case. The action, he said, rested on the well settled principle of law that if a husband turned his wife out of doors without cause he, sent her into the World as his accredited agent, and he was responsible for her reasonable support."
