« In the- Magistrate's Court yesterday afternoon, before Mr. W. R. Haselden, S.M., Martha Pirani claimed £91 10s from Frederick Pirani. Plaintiff and defendant were husband and wife, and, according to the statement of claim, \hey mutually agreed to live apart from July, 1902. Defendant allowed plaintiff £2 7s per week for maintenance. This amount was afterwards increased to £2 15s. Since the 19th December, 1908, plaintiff stated that she had only received £70 15s, and she alleged that defendant had made default in the performance of his agreement, and nad neglected and refused to pay her the £91 10s due to her. It was urged on behalf of the defence that there was no deed of separation, and that defendant had undertaken certain responsibilities in regard to the education of the children, which relieved him of the payments in full. Decision was reserved. Mr. Gray appeared for plaintiff, and Mr. Neave for defendant. In the partially-heard case, Wm.
