AUCKLANDERS SWIFT, EVEN IN DIVORCE.
(Special to the "Star.") AUCLAND, February 24. "You seem to be more in a hurry in Auckland." said Mr Justice Blair in the Supreme Court yesterday, when dealing with a divorce petition based on a husband’s failure to comply with an order for restitution of conjugal rights. His Honor was about to grant a decree nisi, to be made absolute in six months, when counsel reminded him that it was customary in Auckland to make a decree absolute after three months.
“In Wellington we usually make it six months in these restitution cases.” said his Honor, but he agreed to conform to the Auckland custom.
