The Wastneys Case.
(By Telegraph.) (Per Press Association.) Wellington, This day. Argument for appellant is being continued in the case of Wastneys v. Wastneys in the Court of Appeal today. Counsel argued that even admitting the appellant to have been guilty of misconduct whether known or unknown to the respondent at the date of the execution of the separation deed the conduct of respondent had so conduced to it that it would not have prevented the appellant from obtaining a judicial separation and alimony in the suit which was compromised by the deed. In any case it was a sufficient foundation for a compromise, and the Court must treat the deed as binding and as a final condonation to all marital disconduct on both sides, especially as it had been acted on for five years.
