FIREMAN'S CLAIM FAILS.
DIVORCED WIFE'S WILL.
■HOUSE LEFT TO ADOPTED SON. A fireman on ships, Henry Albert Alderton, aged 60, was nonsuited by Mr. Justice Smith in the Supreme Court yesterday when he asked that a house in Flower Street, Eden Terrace, be judged his property, on the grounds that it had been bought with his money, although in his wife's name. His wife had died last year and had left plaintiff nothing. The house had been bequeathed to William John Whitford, an insurance agent, aged 32, who had been "brought up" by the Aldertons, although he had not been formally adopted.
His Honor said that plaintiff had failed to establish his case, and would be nonsuited without costs.
Mr. J. J. Sullivan appeared for the plaintiff and Mr. Bennett for the defendant.
