A DIVORCE STAYED.
INTERVENTION BY THE ATTORNEY- ' GENERAL. I By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Friday. Judgment was given by Mr. Justice Cooper to-day on the motion of the Solicitor-General to discharge a decree nisi granted on March 19, 1910, at Gisborne, in the divorce case Jobson v. Jobson and to dismiss the petition to have the decree made absolute. It appears that since granted the decree nisi the parties, William Jobson, petitioner, and Edith Lilian Jobson, respondent, have lived together as man and wife at Wanganui and Wellington. The grounds of the Solicitor-General's motion were that petitioner had condoned respondent's adultery and that the Court had not had material facts before it at he time. The Court rescinded the decree nisi, and, as a matter of course, dismissed the petition to make the decree absolute, which was desired by both parties. Mr. Justice Cooper said it was the first case in New Zealand in which, the At-torney-General or Solicitor-General had intervened in a divorce suit.
