Defendant during the hearing of an application for a separation order by bis wife at Auckland : “ By Jove, she gets it on to me. Last Sunday I was putting up a tankstand, and when I went inside to get something—biff ! comes a candlestick. Next time I went in a vase —a big one, full of flowers and water. ‘ You she yells at me, ‘ I’ll do for you. I’m leaving this place and you’ll have to mark me first!’ Yes, I struck her, but she flew at my throat. It was more a push than a blow. ' Plaintiff accused her husband of drinking habits. She said he was divorced when she married him, and that he had since told her he liked the first wife best. Consequently she would not go back to him. The Magistrate, who had vainly endeavoured to “ pour oil on the troubled waters,” adjourned the case for a week.
