SOLD HIS WIFE.
■ ♦ EXTRAORDINARY CASE IN DUNEDIN. 1 ■ Dunedin, This Day. It is not often that the sale of a wife, with supporting documentary evidenre, is recorded, but such a sordid transaction was revealed in the Police Court, when the Police told the Magistrate that Edward Fitzpatrick had practically sold his wife to Allan Flyger for £7. “Here,” said the Senior-Sergeant, handing a document to the Bench, “is the receipt.” The two men concerned were charged with fighting. Flyger appeared with a bandaged head and in a generally battered state. The Senior-Sergeant said that since Fitzpatrick had practically sofcT his wife to the other man, he had been cadging from and blackmailing him. The Magistrate said to Fitzpatrick : “There is nothing to be said in your favour. In view of this document before me, the less you say the better.” Fitzpatrick was fined £5 and Flyger £2.
