They removed to Wellington, and at the end of a month respondent left him again, as he objected to a certain gentleman calling to see her at the house where they rented rooms. He got tho woman with whom they were staying to telegraph to respondent, telling her that he was ill. She replied by telegram: "I don't care if he is dead." I'll get the clothes after the funeral.'-' He did not see respondent since. Mr Card admitted i-ho facts of the case. His Honour granted a decree nisi. Mr Card applied for the custody of the child.
