PECULIAR CLAIM FOR MAINTENANCE.
A rather unique action for maintenance which had been remanded four months previously was heard ab the B untly court yesterday before Captain Jackeon R.M. A man named Albert Schlinker brought up his wife, Margaret Schlinker, to endeavour to compel her to maintain him, on the ground chat he was destitute and unable to earn bis own living. Mr Dyer appeared for tho complainant and Mr T. Cotter for the defence. Tho defendant showed that since tho adjournment 4 months ago the plaintiff himself had been working and obtaining 15s per week and his keep during tho whole of that period. The Magistrate held ihet ur.der the Act Schlinker was not a destitute person and therefore diecnissed the case.
