GROUNDS FOR DIVORCE.
PROOF OF MISCONDUCT. ADMISSIONS INADEQUATE. That he required proof of misconduot other than written admissions from the parties in divorce cases was intimated by Mr Justice Herdman in the Supreme Court at Hamilton today when Mr H. T. Gillies appeared on behalf of Arthur John Jonson, who sought a dissolution of his marriage with Thelma May Jonson. W. McKee was cited as co-respondent. Mr Gillies said the parties were married in December, 1930. Three months later the wife left and had not returned. He admitted that he had no actual evidence of adultery between the wife and the co-respondent but he could produce admissions. His Honour: They do not accept admissions in England now. There must be some kind of evidence of two people living together. The case was adjourned for further investigation.
