A PECULIAR CASE.
Application for an Injunction.
[By Telegraph.]
Christchurch, July 15.
In the Supreme Court in Banco this morning, the case of Birrell v, Birrell was heard, an application for an injunction restraining the defenr dant, who is the husband of the plaintiff, from coming to her house. The defendunt was convicted at Timaru of forgery, and sentenced to two years' imprisonment, a term which has nearly been completed. The plaintiff is a boardinghousekeeper, the boardinghouse being her own property. She stated that the boarders would leave if her husband returned. His Honor said the defendant was an elderly man of good character, except as regarded the frauds committed on his employers. There was nothing at all to show that tbe defendant would molest his wife. In reality the application for an injunction meant that the Court was called upon to pronounce a judicial separa* tion. If the defendant had no right on the premises he would be treated as a trespasser. If he went there in the assertion of bis right as a husband the law could not interfere; and such an extraordinary remedy as that of an injunction could not be involved. The injunction was refused.
