A HUSBAND’S NOTIONS.
THREE-YEAR MARRIAGES, WITH STATE AS PARENT.
Sir Samuel Evans, in the London Divorce Court, in June, heard a curious story in. a suit brought by Mrs Georgina Westaway against her husband, Wallace Westaway, who did not defend.
The parties were married in 1902, and lived at Tufnell Park. During the winter, the petitioner said, she had a cough, and because her r oughing shook the bed her husband made her sleep upon the floor. He used to say that no man should have a, wife for more than three years, and after that time, if there were any children, the State should keep them. The petitioner said her husband had been guilty of cruelty. In July, 1911, he left her while at Brighton, and they had never lived together since. He was watched, however, and found to be living with another woman. Owing to the fact that the case had been omitted from the official list a decree nisi was not pronounced.
