UNUSUAL GROUNDS
PETITION IN DIVORCE ACTION UNDER EMERGENCY REGULATIONS A petition in divorce on unusual grounds was heard before Mr Justice Kennedy in the Supreme Court yesterday. The proceedings were taken under the Emergency Regulations, 1946, and the grounds stated were six months’ desertion. The petitioner, a man, said that he had married in Lossiemouth, Scotland, when he was a pilot officer in the Royal Air Force. There were no children of the marriage, and he returned to Dunedin in 1945 without his wife. She had refused to come to New Zealand. The mother of the petitioner said that the respondent had written to her on a number of occasions, and had sent a photograph of herself. His Honor, who stated that it was unlikely that he would have a similar petition before him again, granted petitioner a decree nisi, to be made absolute at the expiry of three months.
