Description
Montgomery Ward and Co., Incorporated, on August 20, 1968, filed suit against William C. Dudley (Dudley) and his wife Mary in the Circuit Court for Anne Arundel County for that it furnished them ""at their request"" goods and merchandise for which they had not paid, and moved for summary judgment, with a supporting affidavit and attached statement of account dated August 14, 1968, which showed an account with ""William C. Dudley, 1506 Eastway, Glen Burnie, Md. and Mary J. Dudley (his wife), 513 First Avenue SW, Glen Burnie, Md.,"" on which there was due a balance for goods purchased in May, June, July and August 1968 of $2,374.71. Dudley, the appellant, on September 18, filed general issue pleas and an answer which alleged a genuine dispute between the parties of material facts since ""at the time these charges were made by his wife he was living separate and apart from her because of her adultery,"" and that the goods sold were not necessaries. The answer was supported by an affidavit made by Dudley reciting (1) the adultery and the allegation that the wife had thrown him out of the marital abode; (2) that when the May debit was made, Dudley's case against the wife for divorce based upon her adultery was pending, and at the time of the August debit had been tried and was being held sub curia; and (3) that no children were born of the marriage; ""and so I believe and therefore aver that $2,374.71 worth of goods and merchandise * * * [were] not for suitable necessaries but were purchased by my wife to spite me.""
