THE HUNTER ESTATE.
MAINTENANCE OF CHILD. OBJECTION BY THE WIDOW. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, Thursday. Though strongly opposed by Lady Hunter, on the grounds that ie amounts specified were inadequate and that no provision was made for retrospective payments, the terms of the draft order consented to by the other parties, making money available for the maintenance of the child Elizabeth, were adopted by His Honour, Air Justice MacGregor, in the Supreme Court to-day. It was explained that the estate was producing no income., The terms were for a sum not exceeding £3 a week out of capital, while the girl was living with her mother and not exceeding £6 a week if she was sent to a boarding-school. It was mentioned that the,rise in wool prices might possibly make the estate income-producing, and His Honour said it seemed to him that as soon as the condition of the estate improved it would be the guardian’s duty to apply for an Increased allowance. ,
