BE TOLERANT
HUSBAND AND •SPOTS’* ADVICE FROM A JUDGE In granting Joe Thomas Jenkin. of Adamatown. Newcastle, a decree mat for a dissolution of his marriage with Catherine Jane Jenkins, recently. Mr. Acting-Justice Milner Stephen* remarked that. when a wife lived in a locality in which intemperance was common. she should exercise greater tolerance with regard to her husband's habit* in that re»p#ct than if she lived in a district wh*r* temperance was the ordinary condition of life. Jenkins, a wheeler in a colliery, charged hU wife with desertion, and declared that she had no just cause for having deserted him. says the Sydney “News.” He denied that he had ever treated her cruelly. The wife related acts of cruelty, and said they usually occurred when Jenkins returned home drunk. She had been forced by hi* conduct to leave him, and asked for a divorce on the ground that he had deserted her. Mr. Acting-Justice Stephen, in finding in favour of the husband, said he thought the alleged acts of cruelty had been greatly exaggerated, and ths wife’s charge fulled.
