The long established law in this state is that in the absence of statute or a contract, express or implied, a parent is not liable for necessities furnished his minor child by a third party. Kelley v. Davis, 49 N. H. 187; Clapp v. Brighi, 93 N. H. 431, 433; see also, Woodman v. Peck, 90 N. H. 292, 293; State v. Tetreault, 97 N. H. 260, 261. Such too is the general rule elsewhere. 67 C.
