DIVORCED !

The Scandal of Charles Seager. A very happy couple wedded m 1896; partially dissolved some time after, arid now the partnership is m absolute liquidation. -It was an unhappy marital- business venture, and loose logs floated down the turbulent matrimonial stream, and wrecked things, and did considerable damage to the crockery m the kitchen Sink, and incidentally there were other matters that need be only touched with a feather. However, it was a : .brief ,■ atfd ready brief, that Barrister; ■Johnston presented at the* Christchurch Divorce Court t'other day, when the wife of Charles Allan Seager, electrical" engineer, asked to have the bonds cut asunder OWING TO ADULTERY, and the birth of ail '-. infantile morsel that scarcely knows that it's born yet. However, Mrs S. obtained a separation order, under which she suffered considerable advantage. Subsequently she heard about a Miss G6tton and her ; hubby, but there appeared to be no authenticity for •the rumors. At Exhibition'- time, however, sbiueth'i'ng ■ else came to her ears, arid a copy of the certificate of birth foreign- to the .recognised' family came 'to light, so a petition for divorce was instituted, with the- present result.. Mrs Amelia Gard, nurse, of Wellington, registered the morsel, and the respondent , paid her for nursing it. He admitted to her that he was the father,. Decree granted, to be made absolute m three months.
