WIFE LEAVES HOME
INTERVENERS PAY
LONDON, May 2.
A Liverpool jury has awarded a Greek cotton merchant, Alexander Sakellarios, £4500 damages against his wife’s parents, and £2250 against Malandrinos, the Greek Vice-Consul, for enticing his wife away from him. Counsel for the defence said that Malandrinos believed .that a wife was entitled to leave a husband who held an antiquated view of marriage, and thought that it was a one-man company in which lie owned all the shares. The wife, in her evidence, which was taken on commission, said she was married in 1925, her father giving a- dowry of £15,000. Her husband was very masterful, and she was hardly mistress in her own house. She was petitioning for divorce.
The judge remarked that if all selfopitiioned husbands were forsaken, there would be many empty homes.
