A Maintenance Case: James Pincent, of Byron Street, was summoned to show cause why an order should not be made upon him to maintain his wife, Emma Elizabeth Pincent. Defendant pleaded guilty to the desertion but alleged misconduct on the part of his wife. He called a witness in support of this allegation, who spoke to seeing misconduct on the part of the wife. After hearing rebutting evidence, the magistrates said they found that the defendant had not proved his case to the misconduct, and he would have to contribute 6s. per week towards his wife’s maintenance.
