A well-known Auckland medical practitioner, George Thomas Humphrey De Clive Lowe, made application before Mr. Justice Herdman in the Hamilton Supreme Court for a dissolution of his marriage with Edna Gwendoline De Clive Lowe. Petitioner stated that the marriage took place at Holy Trinity Church, Devonport, Auckland, on January 10, 1900. Owing to an unfortunate incompatability of temperament his married life had not been happy, and owing to the differences between himself and his wife they agreed to separate on November 29, 1Q23. Under the terms of that deed he had regularly paid his wife £I2OO a year and had paid a further £IOO for the education of his youngest son, aged 16. He had also paid out several hundred pounds per annum for the education of his two other sons as doctors. In answer to the Judge petitioner said that following the deed of separation his wife went to reside in Dunedin, and he had not seen her since. The terms of the deed were still in full force and effect. Cyril Towsey. musician, Auckland, said he had known the parties for 30 years. He remembered Mrs. Lowe leaving for Dunedin between three and four years ago. Since that time he had been in intimate touch with petitioner, and he knew that the parties had not been together during that time. A decree nisi was granted, to be moved absolute in three months.
