IMPORTANT LAW POINT.
SALAMAN VERSUS SALAMAN. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. The Full Court delivered judgment this afternoon in the case of Salaman versus Salaman. The case stated for the opinion of the Court. Mr. Justice Adams delivered the judgment of the Court. In answer to a question put, the Court stated that it was of opinion that after a decree absolute marriage had been pronounced, the wife could not sue her husband for personal injury committed by him during the interval between the time of granting the decree nisi and the making of the decree absolute. The Court was of opinion that the question was concluded by authority, and that until a decree was absolute the status of a woman was not altered. Defendant was allowed 12 guineas costs of argument. Judgment was then given by Mr. Justice Adams dismissing the action, with costs to the defendant on the middle scale. Mr. Jellicoe thereupon moved for leave to appeal to the Privy Council, but consideration of this motion was adjourned until to-morrow.
