LADY HEATH’S DEBTS
HUSBAND’S REPUDIATION (Rec. November 26, 11 p.m.) London, November 26. Sir James Heath’s repudiation of his wife’s debts reached another stage in the King’s Bench Division, when he contested a claim for £239 for gowns supplied by West End Court dressmakers just before Lady Heath’s departure for America. The evidence revealed that Sir James Heath settled on his wife trust securities valued at £20,000, from which the annual income amounts to £925. She did not arrive at the church on the first date arranged for the wedding because the settlement was not made, consequently the ceremony had to be postponed. When Sir James Heath returned from Africa he paid bills amounting to £lOOO, including-the price of an aeroplane. People were clamouring to be paid for dresses obtained after Sir James Heath prohibited Lady Heath pledging his credit. The case was adjournel.
