AN UNHAPPY MARRIAGE.
WIFE TURNED OUT. "Every other night my husband would bring home a barrel of beer. He was drunk nearly every night for four yeare," said Alice Ann McGrath (Mr. J. J. Sullivan) at the Supreme Court this morning when petitioning for a dissolution of her marriage with Christopher McGrath. They were married on June 30. 1898, and there were five children. Petitioner left her husband eight years ago, and he had been cruel when in drink, and had struck her. More than once she had been compelled to 'seek shelter with her sister and neighbours when her husband turned her out.
Petitioner's sister corroborated, and a decree nisi was granted, to be moved absolute in three months. The proceed">gs occupied eight minutes.
