WIFE WENT TO "SALLY."

HUSBAND RETURNED TO MOTHER. „ "These people have been married for 1 ! 20 years," remarked Mr. J. F. W. Dicke j son at the Magistrate's Court to-day, iv /i an application for a maintenance order. i, I "The other night the wife went to 'Sailer tl; with her daughter, and when she res turned home her husband had gone to d | his mother." She had no complaint as c to his treatment of her in the past, but :- as her money lias been stopped, asks for ~ an order for maintenance. o Mr. Colliding, on behalf of the hus--0 hand, .aid hi. client had given his wife £4 per week until quite recently. The y j husband informed him that the wife had 1 I written her name across some cheques f j and got £9 19/. it Mr. Dickson: That is absolutely dei t nied. I Mr. Colliding _aid the husband simply I .tupped his wife's allowance until that ..mount was made up. lie was quite - i prepared to pay the household accounts. '. Mr. F. K. Hunt, S-M. said: "The man has t got to pay his wife that £4 per week. 4, If she wastes it, then he can come here 1 ! again. It puts a wife in a derogatory i | position if .he has no money, and her . husband pays the accounts. That wa . , i the position in other days, but is not I j toloratpd now. I will adjourn the apl j plication for one month, and you tell . the husband to continue lo give his wife Ithe .£_ per week." ___ ___.
