CURFEW ON WIFE
IMPOSED BY STEP-FATHER. Twenty-six-year-old Mrs Sarah Wilson, of Durham, left her husband after seven weeks of married life because her husband’s step-father imposed on both of them a 9 p.m. curfew, states a London message. That was five years ago. Mrs Wilson told the story recently when her husband, Arthur James Wilson, aged 39. pleaded guilty to bigamously marrying Irene Stackhouse on February 16 this year. He was sent for trial.
Mrs Wilson told Newcastle magistrates: “We had to be in by 9 p.m.. were not allowed to go to places, and I could not stand it.” Miss Stackhouse said she went as housekeeper to Wilson and his stepfather after Mrs Wilson left. She added: "When I went there I knew everything. Arthur didn’t deceive me,"
