When Ruby Ethel Mcßeath married Edward Charles Stanley, at Stratford, m 1915, sho was only 24 years of age, whilst he was 57. After their marriage they lived at Hamilton, where the marriage was childless until last year. Mrs. Stanley went away for a time to get over her illness, and when she returned she went to live at the house occupied by her husband and her father, who had, m the meantime, entered Into a farming partnership at Gordonton. From that time onwards, however, her husband refused to resume marital relationship or to keep her. She therefore applied to Mr. Justice Stringer at Hamilton for an order for restitution of conjugal rights. The Judge, however, wanted a few more facts about the case and adjourned the application to enable hucli to be supplied m sworn affidavit.
