Johnstone) applied (says the New Plymouth Daily News) for* a maintenance order for herself and three children (the eldest of whom is four years of age) against her husband, John Henry Wells.

She had been in receipt of charitable aid in the meantime, and a child was born during his absence. The defendant stated that he was a cook, earning 30s per week and his keep in the Carlton Hotel at Auckland. He consented to a separation order from his wife and to a maintenance order for £1 per week,
