Put Wife Out In Snow Naked

A wife who said she had been driven naked out of the house by her husband on a night when snow was either knocked or flipped or threw on the ground, was granted a de-|the pie in her face. cree nisi with costs by the President, Sir Boyd Merriman, in the Divorce Court.
The petition was by Mrs. Doris Hayton Smith, of Beech-grove, Whitley Bay, Northumberland, who married Mr. Gordon Redvers Smith,
a
builders' ironmonger of Wood- lands, North Gosforth, in June, 1927.
She said she had the child in her arms at the time, and the meat and gravy went over her face and down her dress and also over the child.
Putting it in its broadest possible that way, Mrs. Smith's within the first year of the marriage

Sir Boyd Merriman, giving judgment, said that as a witness Mrs. Smith had impressed him by her candour and the husband by his lack of it.

ground, her husband ran her out of the house, naked, 'in circumstances which showed painly that he hoped he had got rid of her for ever.
The husband's case, on the other hand, was that, taken altogether, his wife's story of his unkindness to her and his attempts to get rid of her was entirely baseless, and that, with one trifling exception, there had been no violence.
The disappearance of a registered postal packet containing £3,000 in Treasury notes is being investigated by Belfast police.
It is understood that a warrant has been issued, and detectives have recovered about £2,100.
The package arrived at the Bel- fast General Post Office at the end of

"I believe there was no play-act ing about that. It was a most brutal, cowardly assault on the wife, and I am satisfied that it was the most violent and the most marked ex- ample of a course of conduct which had been going on for some time."
Dealing with one of the wife's charges, Sir Boyd Merriman said that one evening in the summer of 1936 she placed before her husband a steak and kidney pie which she

FAMOUS SHIP'S NAME IS REVIVED
While Belgian shipbreakers were scrapping the Royal Daf- fodil, sturdy little Mersey ferry- boat, a new luxury motor-ship which will carry the name again to Belgian ports was taking shape on the stocks of a Dumbarton (Scotland) shipyard.
The owners had no difficulty in choosing a name for her. The Royal Daffodil was a name to be perpetuated.

When, on a dark night a glorious company 1918, ships set out to carry out the raid on Zeebrugge, the German submarine base, in their midst, with her engines straining to the order, "Full steam ahead," was the Daffodil.
For Holidaymakers
At Zeebrugge, when the Brit- ish ships made contact, the Royal Daffodil led H.M.S. Vindictive up to the mole while the landing par- ties did their job. Then she took wounded aboard, came away with decks running with blood, 'her deck walls riddled. For her
part in the exploit it. was dered that henceforth she should bear the prefix Royal.
or-
Once again in later years she crossed in the darkness to a Bel- gian port. Her course was run.
At Whitsun a new Royal Daf- fodil glided into Ostend Har- bour. In her were 2,000 holi- daymakers. To many the name of the ship which has brought them in comfort at twenty-one knots across the Channel meant nothing until they read the story engraved on a bronze plate on one of her decks, the only re- maining relic of Royal Daffodil of Zeebrugge fame.
