Initiatory steps have been taken in a divorce suit, the parties to the action being Charles Evans, of Nelson (petitioner), Annie Evans, his wife (respondent), and William Craven i tylm-fin (co-respondent). In the petition it is alleged that Chayies Evans, in 1566 at Kaikoura, married respondent, then Annie Palmer, and that the fruits of the marriage were six children, whose ages now range from fourteen to one years ; that Evans kept an hotel at Kaikoura, and that while boarding at the hotel Murfin and Mrs Evans Hrst came into improper intercourse. The petitioner also avers chat since the 26th April, 1881, co-respoudent and respondent have been cohabiting together in Auckland, and therefore prays for dissolution of marriage on the grounds of adnltery and desertion, and further seeks to recover £10p0 and costs of proceedings fr6m corespondent. The reply by co-respon-dent is^that if adultery has been -committed it lias been condoned, inasmuch that petitioner has been guilty of adultery and cruelty. The Star to-night, m replying to the press association' telegram, that' the police, Bergt. Mahon, of Napier, had commenced legal proceedings to clear himself from the charge of writing to Sergt. Kidd, asking him to use his influence on behalf of Ormond in Wdipawa, says it is not so easily bounced as the Napier Telegraph appears to have been, and publishes in extenw a letter from Mahon to Kidd,, telling him to use all his influence to induce Ormond to withdraw, as Ormond was the only man who could carry on war effectively against the present Government, and so secure justice o the police. !
