ONLY IN NEW ZEALAND.
LIMITED DIVORCE DECREE.
An unusual position arose in a petition for divorce before Mr. Justice Callan in the Supreme Court to-day, when Kathleen Cora Hogan (Mr. Gray)- petitioned for divorce from Clifford Gilbert Hogan.
Shortly after their marriage in 1928, stated the petitioner iri' evidence, she and her husband went to Sydney, intending only to etay there for a, visit. The visit wae prolonged, and in 1931 it was arranged that she should return to Auckland in order that her child might be born in New Zealand, and her husband was to follew immediately. After the child was born there was correspondence between husband and wife, in which the respondent kept on stating that he would return, but elways putting it off. Eventually the correspondence ceased, and the husband did not return. His Honor granted a decree nisi, but added that owing to the respondent's domicile in Sydney the decree had to be such as to be operative only in New Zealand. A decree niei wae granted Alice Matilda Wadley (Mr. Noble) against Joseph Wadley on the ground of separation for more than three yeere.
