(From "N.Z.

Bannister said that he was m Sydney when he heard rumors about his wife, Eileen Jessie Bannister who had gone to Auckland. When he got to New Zealand, she met him with the disconcerting news that she had found someone else she liked better. Subsequently, said petitioner, he found a note to his wife written by Alfred Openshaw Franklin, of Auckland, who was cited as corespondent. Soon after, his wife told him she had finished with him for good. Last February she went to Sydney and for a considerable time he heard nothing of her. Later, he discovered that she and the" co-respondent Were living together there. His wife had since asked him to discontinue the present proceedings for the sake of the co-respondent. She was now living at Napier. A letter was tendered m which the respondent confessed misconduct. For the respondent Mr. Armstrong said he had been instructed to withdraw a defence which had been filed, and to admit the allegations of misconduct on which the petition was based.
