, A "BONN^" BRIDE. , How Qanty became a Co-re. This is the tale of matrimonial infelicity as told by John Bonasich, before his Honor Mr. Justice Hosking, m; the Supreme Cou>t, Wellington; on Friday week. ;; ,i . . ■■. . \ o \.' : < It was m the year of Our Lord. 1885, that John attempted to form a holy allianfce with . Ada - Bond. He procured the services of Mr; John J. Moore, of I'oneke, to do the>job.. Alasl^AJas! The Bond did not hold well. John, who is a naturalised Dalmatian, commenced his honeymoon duties right away, and, Ada assisting him, they dwelt onahe Plains of Martoh and the hills, of Weir lington. Of course all this did not go for nothing and five healthy citizens resulted. At the time of the holy, tie John was 30 and; Ada sweet eighteen^ AND NBV3BR BEEN KISSED. Then Ada vanished like a Urearo. John, who is a good, hard-working fellow, reckoned that it "was no good to him," so he engaged the services j Of Galba's Private Inquiry Agency to disintegrate the atoms of the. stonvand the resultant synthesis was Hke<this: On April i,"Galba" went along to a Tory-street house,; ' Ada, despite her advanced years, being the principal charmeuse de serpents of the house. "Galba" mooned, abjmtif or a while and at last he struck WilHam Ganty. <who ■was lit a. merry mopd: m fact, the 'too told the cantle Canty that he was looking for a certain sort of house, and BILLY- SUGGESTED ADA'S PLACE. The 'tec said that he would' examine the house of ill-fame and would form his opinion from the inspection. Canty gave certain information and then the awful truth was, revealed. Canty's "cobber" was searching for a co-re-spondent. Ada* when It came out, took it m good part. "Galba" gave evidence to the above effect./" v '■'■'■ " :"■, ' : - , • ■ " '-■- ■'."'■ ■■•-■■■ His Honor: Did they go m stealthily ?_N O , your Honor.
