One of the statements made by a delicate young married woman in the Magistrates’ Court, to-day, was that when her first baby lay dead in its coffin, her husband came home drunk and ill-treated her. He chased her with a knife, threatened to kill her and put her in a coffin also.
Her counsel said the man had had the unique experience of having been charged with drunkenness on the day the child was to he buried, and characterised it as the worst case he had had to handle in liis legal career. The magistrate granted a separation.
