A Doctor's Wife in Trouble
• We extract the following from the London letter of the Post, and as the parties were well-known in Feilding, it will be interesting. Mrs Emma Dowd, an acid-looking female of uncertain age, attended Bow-street on 3rd inst to announce to a sympathetic magistrate the dissappearance of her husband, a doctor well-known at the anlipodes. Jt seems that Mr and Mrs Dowd returned from New Zealand in M ay last, and on the 16th of that month VI rs Dowd set off to visit relatives in Devonshire, receiving from her husband LlO to defray expenses. He accompanied her to Waterloo, and promised to write, bat since that time she had neither seen nor heard anything of him. He came to England with the view of taking a chemist's business in the suburbs and transmitted LSOO to a London Bank, but on enqtt ry they now found the account had been closed. Mrs Dowd described her spouse as being about 34 years of age, rather short, with white hair, whiskers and moustache, and florid complexion.
