HOARD IN POT CUPBOARD
FOUND BY HUSBAND
WIFE SUES FOR RECOVERY
(By Telegraph—Press Association) HAMILTON, This Day. An interesting point in a wife’s suit against her husband for £339 was decided by the Magistrate, Mr Wilson, this morning. The v.ife, May Haggard, who helped her husband, /William Henry Haggard, in a bookstall business, besides keeping house, gradually saved this hoard which she hid in the pot cupboard. Her .husband found and appropriated the cash and the wife sued for recovery The husband’s counsel requested a nan-suit as the savings from the housekeeping fund belonged to the husband. The Magistrate, in a reserved decision, said that this point was well established, but the wife’s earnings in her husband’s business were her property. He dismissed the non-suit ad adjourned the case to hear the defence. The couple had quarrelled over the husband's desire to leturn to England.
