MAJOR SIMS AND HIS WIFE

f ' ■ "■■ ' ' (From "Truth's" Special Wellington Representative.) Another side to the domestic affairs of Major Randolph Sims, a railway officer on the £800 p. a. rung 1 , and Mrs. Betty Sims, who not only denied that she was the major's housekeeper, but said she had married him twice, is yet to be heard. In delivering judgment on a non-suit point last week, Magistrate Page considered that the procedure adopted by Kirki caldie and Stains, and also by Mrs. Sims m ordering goods, was \ typical of that followed m the ordinary case of a wife opening ' an account for the supply of goods to her husband's household. „ . ' , His Worship did not find it necessary to enquire into the validity of a marriage ceremony that was alleged to have taken place between the parties. In refusing the non-suit the Magistrate said that as the evidence stood he must hold that the goods, or the large majority of them, were m their nature necessaries.
