INDER V. INDER.

Gore Lawyer and His Missus. A Mere Matter of Maintenance. Why She Wouldn't go to Gore. (From "Truth's" Auckland' Rep.) It seems as though the legal rows and litigation between Billy Tnder, the fat lawyer of Gore, and his missus Leah Lillian Inder, who has been staying m Auckland since the signing of the historic deed of separation, are like the waterworks described by the late Mr. Tennyson, doomed" to go on for ever. In the past, Auckland HAS BEEN EDIFIED by unsuccessful divorce : proceedings instituted by Billy, and reflecting little credit upon him. Also, by an unsuccessful action brought- by Leah , before Mr. kettle, S.M., for a noble amount of arrears of maintenance .under the Destitute Persons Act; and,: lastly, a successful suit by Leah for the same arrears before Mr. Justice Edwards some five months ago, when the learned jud,ge made some caustic comments upon "Costs" of very wet Gore. Evidently Billy could not have obeyed Mr. Justice Edwards's , order to render unto Leah the things which "were Leah's, as on Tuesday last at . the Auckland S.M.s Court, ';■ before Mr. Cutten, S.M., Leah sued Billy for the noble amount of £104) arrears of maintenance. ■■'■. Lawyer Denniston orice more put m an appearance for Willie, and this time Leah had : ANOTHER CHANGE OP COUNSEL,, having for her side Lawyer Massey (son of Premier Bill); . Lawyer Denniston asked for a change

of venue of the case to the peaceful "dry" city of Gore. Mr Dennlstoh duly passed along an affidavit setting forth: at length the reasons why Leah objected. . The S.M. duly perused the precious document, and then asked Mr. Massey to say a few words of enlightenment. "Square Deal" Bill's learned .son dealt severely with the application by pointing out that, under the deed of separation between Bill and Leah, Leah was for ever debarred from putting her number threes upon the bottle-bestrewn streets of Gore. If Leah went down to Gore, Bill might bring up her presence there as a reason for . BURSTING UP THE DEED. Anyway, all the material witnesses to the case were m Auckland, and no good purpose could be served by "hearing the case m Gore the watery. Lawyer Dennston reckoned that, all he had got to say m support of his application was contained m the affidavit. The S.M., with great enthusiasm, blew out the application, and adjourned the case for a fortnight, so that Billy could extricate his heavy artillery from the mud of Gore and bring it along to Ahckland.
