A Family Affair.
(By Telegraph.)
BLENHEIM, June 13
An interpleader involving an important issue was before the Resident Magistrate yesterday, for which judgment will be given tomorrow. A creditor of a farmer had obtained a judgment against him but found the goods and chattels secured to the wife. In evidence it transpired that the debtor agreed in writing three years ago to make over the same to his wife, but subsequently he refused to sign the bill cf sale, and it was now sought to show that the transfer was invalid. On the wife’s side it was proved that the debtor had done nothing and the wife everything to support the family and home. The R.M. reserved judgment. The case excites considerable interest.
