A MARRIAGE CONTRACT
(Per United Press Association., > AUCKLAND, May 26. At the police court this afternoon, a middle aged woman, a native of India, sought separation from her English husband, John Lupton, on the ground that he always wanted to kick her out. They were married in Suva, she explained. The husband took her on a five years’ contract from the Government and paid £lO odd for the privilege. They could not live together because they disagreed on everything. As neither of the party had any desire that they should live together the Magistrate made an order of maintenance for 12s a week. There were no children of the marriage.
