A Maintenance Case

AUCKLAND, September 29

A somewhat peculiar case came before Mr Kettle, S.M., at the Police Court this afternoon, when Agnes Sarah Fleming, for whom Mr McVeagh appeared, was ordered to pay 7s 6d per week towards the maintenance of her husband, Andrew Fleming, who it was claimed was a destitute person. The defence 'contended that the applicant was not a destitute person, being quite able to perform light employment, while it was claimed, on the other hand, that he could not get work and that his wife, who had property worth i>3500, should support him. The Magistrate, in making the order, left it open to either party to move for a revision.
