(By; Telegraph—Press Association.)
AUCKLAND, This Day.
"In all cases of applications for the restitution of conjugal rights the Com t must be satisfied that there is a genuine desire for the respondent to return to the petitioner," said Mr., Justice Fair today during the hearing of a petition for restitution. When a wife left her husband without marked differences of opinion or a quarrel and the husband did not make any serious attempts to persuade her to. return, that "naturally cast some doubt on the genuineness of.his request.
His Honour said .he did not consider it proper to treat these cases as a mere formality. He made . order for the wife to return to her husband within 28 days in a case in which Lewis James Kinross sought an order for restitution against Doris Kinross.
