JUDGE MAY HELP MAN TO GET DIVORCE
GUILTY OF BIGAMY
CHILDREN BY SECOND “WIFE.”
AUCKLAND, Last Night
An unusual position was disclosed at the Supreme Court to-day when a young man named lan Campbell Cameron came up for sentence on a charge of bigamy. Mr. Justice Stringer said Cameron had deserted his first wife and then married again concealing from the second woman the fact that he was already married. He had two children by the second wife. Mr. J. F. W. Dickson, the defending counsel, said that the first wife was a woman of notoriously bad character and had lived with other men since Cameron left her. He was prepared to undertake or accede to divorce proceedings and then to marry his present wife.
The case was adjourned till tomorrow for a surety to be found on Cameron’s behalf. His Honour said that if the surety was forthcoming he would consider allowing accused his freedom so that the course suggested by counsel might be adopted.
