Marriage and Divorce: 1 Q.: Is drunkenness alone a sufficient ground for divorce against a wife? — I "K. Matson." A.'. Habitual drunkenness for four years and thus habitually rendering herself unfit to discharge domestic duties is the ground. Q.: Can a father leave all his property to an illegitimate child and overlook his legitimate children?— "Co|nishman" (Woodville). ' A.: Yes, subject to the Court awarding shares to any children who could establish claims to be considered by virtue of the Family Protection Act J Q.: Is a man relieved of all responsibility and entirely free from alimony after divorce?*— TLD." A.: Not necessarily: the Court has discretion, and the tyre of matrimonial offence is considered. 1 Wages, Pensions: Q.: (1) Deceased soldier's mother receives war pension ot 15s. Does this bar her right to old age pension? (2) Would the fact of receiving either war or old age pension prevent her from owning house if her interest therein over the mortgage did not exceed £390? — "Finance" (Ashburton). A.: (1) No. (2) No, provided she permanently resides m house. Wills and Property: Q.: Can children of a man's first wife claim anything out of estate of his second wife? Would they get a share In her house property if no will made? — "Mrs. H." (Pahiatua). A.: No. It no will, husband would | get one-third and your own children the rest between them. Q.: Is a will made by husband on joining the army still valid? — "Inquirer" (Ohakune) A.: Yes. Legal: Q.: Rule pt Engineers' Union provides that member can be excluded from union after being nine weeks m arrears with subscription. If no notice of exclusion is received by a member and he m the meantime resigns, can union sue for nearly two years' arrears? — "Urgent" (Normanby). A.: If you have not been excluded according to the rule would be deemed to be etill a member, and as such liable for subscription levies up to the date of your resignation. Your only chance of avoiding liability would be to show that the rule was unreasonable, or that there were no benefits conferred m return for the payments, or that you were induced to join, as you say, by misrepresentation. Q.: Road fence on farmer's property was removed by him with consent of the county engineer and erected on metal line of road on account of awkward position of former fence lino. Plantation grown between old ,and new lines. If farmer sells can he claim payment for strip of land.? — "Subscriber" (Karewarewa). A.: You cannot possibly establish ownership of the strip, so that it is not yours to Bell. At the most you could only sell the timber m . the plantation, although lt is quite conceivable that the council would put forward a claim to it as being part of the land. Q.: Person signs contract with American firm for course of voice production. After taking about half thc course, and -as lessons being duplicated and of no benefit, no more money sent. Letter received from Yankee debt collector threatening proceedings Amount owing about £10. — "Weekly Reader" (Christchurch). A.: The letter is mostly bluff — ignore it. It would not pay them to institute proceedings, and, m any case, you would have a good defence on the ground that the tuition was of no educational value. Q.: Can money owing over ten years be claimed if creditor has a letter written by debtor 18 months ago promising payment as soon as possible? —"Mrs. R.G." (Frankton). A.: Yes. The acknowledgment of tho debt prevents it from the protection of the Statute of Limitations. Second question: Yes. Q.: (1) Can a contractor who finds himself m debt at the end of the year be compelled to pay Income tax?
