Opinion of the Court

By the Court.

Assuming, as most favorable to the plaintiff, that the defendant’s coverture was no bar to this action, there was ample evidence that she was not of “sufficient ability ” *14to pay the expenses of her support, and therefore was not liable for them under the Gen. Sts. c. 73, § 25. See Templeton v. Stratton, 128 Mass. 137.

¡Exceptions overruled.
