“BLAKGUARD AND BRUTE.”
Auckland, December 18
“ I think that the words ‘ blackguard " and ‘ brute ’ will adequately express my opinion of you,” said Mr C. C. Kettle, S.M., this afternoon, when granting an application for summary separation which was made bv a delicate little woman against her husband, a labourer of Baker Street. “ Further than this,” continued bis Worship, “you lied to me in stating you had never been drunk iu your life. Now, respectable witnesses have come forward and testified to your drunken habits. I would not ask any woman to live with a blackguard like you. You are too low aud 100 filthy.”
Mr Kettle made an order for the payment of £1 ros per week towards the support of the wife and two young children.
