The father is primarily liable for wedding clothes furnished to his daughter, upon this medium, That he is bound to provide for her; therefore the furnishing is presumed to have been made upon his faith; but the husband is liable subsidiarie, because the furnishing must be considered in rem versum of his wife, and a debt upon her, and consequently upon her husband by the father's insolvency.
