Another Point for the Ladies.

A decision given by a Court in Philadelphia that a wife "has a right to rille the pockets of her husband and take his last coin, has given rise to a considerable amount of controversy, states the New York ■correspondent of a London journal. The decision was mado in the case of Mr. John Doreas, who pleaded that ho was forced to leave his wife when arrested for non support, because she had a habit of "going through" his pockets, every night and relieving him of all the money she found in them. After heaving both sides of the case, the-Judge deadded that, according to law, that which belonged to Dorcas also belonged to Mrs. Doreas, and it did not make any difference how she got it.
