Some peculiar positions sometimes come to the surface at meetings of Land Boards. At the last meeting of the Wellington Board, the ranger reported that a married <woman had failed to reside on a section which she had taken up. Instead, she was living with her husband, also a Crown tenant, on a section some distance away. Neither party could live with the other, and yet retain the land left vacant. To retain both sections the coirple would have to live apart. The Commissioner remarked that the lady should not have taken up the section in the first place. A member of the Board said he thought she would forfeit the land rather than her husband. The Board decided to ask her to show cause -why the lease should not be forfeited.
