Marriage.
The' story of a secret wedding was told at Reigate (Surrey) Police Court the other day.
Marjorie Leveson-Gower, of Reigate. applied for a maintenance order against her husband, Alastair Marmariuke Gresham Leveson-Gower, of Farnham. She said that they were married at Reigate register office in April and parted immediately after the ceremony. Her husband paid half a crown for a taxi w’hich took her to her own home.
Apart from that she had never received anything from him since the marriage.
It was his wish, she said, that the marriage should be kept a secret and that wish she respected for a week. Before the marriage, she said, Mr Leveson-Gower spent as much as 50s a week in buying her presents. The husband pleaded he could not find means to maintain his wife, but he admitted recent visits to night clubs, the possession of a motor-cycle and allowances from his mother.
The Bench ordered him to pay her £1 a week.
An application which Mrs LevensonGower made for a separation order was not granted.
