Supreme Court of New Hampshire Municipal Court of Manchester.

ASSUMPSIT, to recover the sum of twenty-seven dollars for the board and care of the defendant’s wife and child. Trial by the court and verdict for the plaintiff.

The defendant’s motion to dismiss the action for want of jurisdiction was denied subject to exception. The defendant was present at the trial, and his counsel cross-examined the plaintiff and her witnesses. Transferred from the municipal court of Manchester (P. L., c. 323, s. 20) by Healy, J.

James A. Broderick, for the plaintiff.

John S. Hurley, for the defendant.

Per Curiam.

In the absence of brief or oral argument by the defendant, no reason is perceived why the court did not have jurisdiction of both the parties and the cause of action. P. L., c. 323, s. 18; Patten v. Patten, 79 N.H. 388; Dolber v. Young, 81 N.H. 157.

Judgment on the verdict.
