Increase in Maintenance Order: Vera Gweneth Pinsent of Torquay applied for an increase of 5s on an order made against her husband, Donovan Henry Douglas Pinsent (now of London) by the Torquay Bench four weeks ago. Addressing the Magistrates, Mr. Ernest Hutchings. who appeared for the applicant, said that about a month ago they made an application to the Bench for an order of separation—the custody of the two children and maintenance. They now had definite proof that the summons had come to the respondent’s knowledge, but he had refused to take any notice of it. They had now served a summons on him properly. The parties were married on the 22nd October. 1924, and there were two children of the marriage, the youngest having been born in July of this year. He had left his wife last Christmas, and money had only been sent intermittently. They had made enquiries and had discovered that respondent was in a situation as a chauffeur earning £2 10s per week and living in. The Justices had made an order of £1 per week but as the applicant was unable to work herself owing to having to look after the youngest child, they asked for the order to be increased to £1 5s. The application was granted.
