Campbell was refused. A somewhat singular case came before the Court. It appears that a Mrs Freebody left her husband in England about eight years ago, and with an infant child arrived here. Bhe took to drink, and hss for some time been living with a Msori named Winiata, at the Hutt. Miss Annie Freebody, her daughter, has now arrived from England, with power of attorney from her father to claim possession of the child, which Winiata refused to part with. A rule nisi was granted, calling on Wiuiata to show cause, returnable on Saturday.
