HUSBANDS AND WIVES.

ORDERS FOR RETURN. "DOES NOT LIKE CHILDREN." Tlio aid of (ho Supremo Court. was appealed for yesterday by a number of married people who desired an order of the Court for tlie restitution of conjugal rights with a husband or wife from whom they were separated. " Difficulties commenced in the. home when lite children arrived," said Dorothy Mildred Wright, who sought the return of her husband, Claude Edward Wright. They were married in 1826, and lived in Wellington and in Auckland. " My husband does not like, children and does not like his own children," said the petitioner. " .Since the births of the children his attitude has completely changed." Her husband felt that the children restricted his freedom to do what he liked, and out of tho six years of their married life he had compelled her to stay away for three years with tho children with relatives in Gisborne or llawkc's Bay. When she returned home with the children last March he was very disap- j pointed, arid sold up the home practically ' over her head at once. He refused to { make a home for her. The husband was ordered to return j within 14 days. Her husband's violence and failure to j maintain her were complained of by j Beryl Frances Stott, who was married to I Andrew William Stott in July. 1924. She said her married life had not heen happy on account of her husband's violent temper. Three times she had left him. and for two years while he was out of work she had kept him. He was now cook on a steamer and made her a | monthly allowance that was not sufficient j to help her. When he was in Auckland i last January he said lie would leave her ! and never come hack. An order was made j for tlio husband's return within 14 days. | Orders for the return of the respondent j to the petitioner within 21 days, or in j some cases 14 days, were made in the following cases: Myrtle Josephine Proud against Cyril Hcdlev l'roud; Rosalind May Young against Bernard John Young; Christine Caroline Robinson against Archie Adam George Robinson; James Edward Smith against Phyllis Smith; Rose Stiff, against Thomas Slitt: and William White against Doreen E.
