PECULIAR DIVORCE SUIT
NOVEL CIRCUMSTANCES. There were some novel circumstances in an undefended divorce case at the Supreme Court in Auckland (writes the “Times” special correspondent). The petitioner, Clifton Wynne Bidois (Mr Premdergast) said that immediately after her marriage before the registrar at Palmerston North, in 1916, Sot husband, Walter Graham Bidois, went into camp. When he was discharged he returned to Waihi, and said he would come that .night to live with her. He did not Jceep his word, and a few days later the petitioner saw him walking with a waitress from his mother’s boardinghouse. The respondent never came back until he called on petitioner in 1920, when he took her to see his two-year-old baby, the former waitress beang the mother. Petitioner told the respondent she did not want a divorce, and would take him book, but he said he would have to consult the other woman to see what she thought about it. He never came back, but continued to live with the second “Mrs Bidois.”
A decree nisi was granted by Mr Justice Adams.
