A rather peculiar domestic arrangement was mentioned in a maintenance case at Napier on the 7th (says the Herald). A wif© desired maintenance from her husband, ■who was living at her house as a boarder and paying £l a week for board and £1 for maintenance. " Then you're not on such bad terms after all," remarked the magistrate. _ "If I make the order for £2 a Vveek maintenance, will he continue as your boarder at £l a week." "Ohi he oan please himself about that," replied complainant, and the case was adjourned to enable the husband to gi-ve his version.
