A DESERTING HUSBAND
JUDGE GRANTS DECREE NISI. "He looked at the baby, said it would live half an hour, and then went.” This was one of the complaints made against her husband in the Divorce Court yesterday by Rose Syron, who asked for a divorce from Martin Syron. on the ground of desertion. Mr. Justice Hosking was on the bench, and Mr. P. J. O’Regan appeared for the petitioner. As the respondent could not be found, said counsel, substitute of service had been granted by the Court. The petitioner said she was married to Syron at Cape Foulwind in 1901. There were six children of the marriage. She lived with her husband at Westport until 1912, when he left her., A maintenance order was taken out against him, but he only complied with it for six months. On one occasion only, when the youngest child was ill, the respondent went to petitioner's house. Timothy Duggan, of Wellington, formerly of Westport, said he had taken the respondent to his wife’s home when the child previously referred to was ill. A decree nisi was granted, to be moved absolute in three months, with the interim custody of the children to petitioner.
