   By the Court.

Separate actions were brought against different defendants, under the act of 1870 (67 Ohio L. 108), for alleged injuries to a wife’s means of support from the intoxication of her husband. The petitions- in form were identical. Held, the fact that the plaintiff in one case received a sum of money in satisfaction and discharge of her cause of action, was no defense in the other case, if in fact the intoxications were separate and distinct.

Judgment affirmed.
