A WIFE'S REVENGE.

ATtlie Wellington Magistrates Court during the hearing of a case in which a wife sought a protection or<ler against her husband, and applied for the custody of her children, the defendant put in the following letter by way of showing the agravation he had received : —"Kaiwarra, March Ist.—My dearest, darling, loving, loving husband, —Just a few lines my own loved one, to let you know I have beaten you again. I have put the set on dear Jimmy again from getting the children adopted. Now yon try some other scheme old boy. My darling loved one, I do like you so ; you don't know the love I have for, you in my heart my dear ; you can't imagine, my own pretty, pretty one. I am so glad I have been able to put the set on you sending them to the industrial school, and now again I have put the corker on you for having them adopted. You must keep them, you know, my dearest husband, or else leave the colony altogether. You must and shall provide for them whether you like it or not. Now you must try some other way of spiting me about them. If you can t revenge yourself on me I suppose you will show your spite on the children. You cur, you long-legged wool-stealer. My own darling, I hope you will feel relieved when this is read to you, because I know you are so ignorant someone must read it for you. Just get someone to look at the ' Post' to-night and see what I have said about the children. Get them adapted if you dare, my man without my consent, and see if I don't make an example of you. Now just you try it, my beauty. Don't forget to have the paper read to you tonight. Good-bye threepenny worthy of starvation plastered up against a boiler door. Believe me to remain your loving, loving wife, I am dying for the want of seeing your ghostly ugly face.
