Mr. Scurr appeared for tho male defendant, who confessed tho claim; and Mr: Haulon for Mrs. Ritchie, who denied liability. The evidence showed that tho couple had been living apart for about a year, though not when the debt was contracted. The family was a very large one, and it took tho united efforts of both husband and wife and a number of the children to keep things going.

Hanlon applied for judgment in order to securo the defendant from being further troubled, and this was granted, costs (£2 25.) being allowed. Judgment for tho full amount was entered against tho husband, and costs (XI Its.).
