DOMESTIC DISCORDS.
Wellington, Last Night. After a trial extending over four days, the jury returned a verdict in favour of the petitioner in the case in which William Henry Nash' proceeded against his wife, Maud Mary Nash, for a judicial separation. After counsel had addressed the Court, His Honour, in summing up, said the jury had been engaged for four days in hearing a lamentable and sordid story of domestic unhappiness. Both parties were willing to separate, and recognised the fact i hat this was necessary. Why his time and that of the jury had been taken up in hearing lengthy proceedings, he did not know. If both parties had been properly advised, and had accepted that advice, the case would not have conic to the Court.
The jury found Mrs Nash guilty of cruelty to her husband, and the husband not guilty of cruelty.
