Other evidence was called to show that the respondent had admitted that she had lived with a man whom she only knew as "Bert," and he was tho father of the second child. His Honour asked whore tho respondent was at present. •' " Petitioner's father_ said sho was kooping house for him. The judge remarked that tho case was singular and unsatisfactory.
