Torquay Wife’s Application: The magistrates adjourned an application under the Married Women’s Act until October 29th. The application was made by Annie V. Pinsent, of Redcliffe, Chelston, Torquay, against her husband, John Thomas Pinsent, an electrician, at present residing in Richmond, London. The magistrates hoped the pair would resume married life together. Applicant said they were married on July 9, 1921, at Newton Abbot. They first resided at Dartmouth, but the husband’s business did not pay, and they moved to Bideford. Whilst there, trouble arose. Subsequently the husband removed to Torquay, leaving her behind. She rejoined him but he went to live at Newton Abbot. Over 12 months ago he left her, and the witness eventually learned he was in London. During the last 13 weeks her husband had been in work, but the witness had received only two payments of 5s. She would be quite willing to live with her husband.
