. ■ • -■ . ■ ADAMS ▼; ADAMS. Statements made yesterday in the hearing of the petition of 7 Edward Adams for dissolution of marriage with Margaret Stella Adams, that the respondent had been left alone, with'a Chinaman by the petitioner, were contradicted by evidence for toe respondent given yesterday afternoon and this morning. After hearing evidence by the co-respondent, Olsen, this morning, and counsel's addresses, his Honour the Chief Justice (the Hon. C. P. Skerrett) reserved his decision to look into the authorities cited. The grounds of .the petition were adultery, which was admitted by the respondent, bat the defence alleged that the actions of the petitioner had induced the offence. Mr. Luekie, for the respondent, contended that adultery had not been proved prior to the separation of the parties, and that the subsequent adultery could not be due to the influence of the petitioner. Mr. Treadwell,"for the respondent, argued that the adultery was the result of petitioner's conduct over a long period.
