„Husband Took A Mistress |
DOCTOR'S
ORDER PLEA IN COURT
A wife who lived for several months In the same house with her husband and his mistress had her suit for the dissolution of the marriage dismissed in the Divorce Court.
It was stated that the husband in- formed her that a doctor had told him that he must have a mistress, take drugs or undergo an operation, and she believed his statement.
The Judge pointed out that, "for from leaving the house, on one occa- sion she sought out the house in which her husband and his mistress were to spend a week-end, rather than face solitude in her own house."
"A VERY STRANGE DOMESTIC LIFE"
She was Mrs. Emily Adą How, of Westbury-road,, Ilford, and she sought a divorce on the ground of the adul- tery of her husband, Mr. James Wil- liam How, with Mrs. Beatrice Ed- wards, who intervened in the suit. The case was contested.
Mr. and Mrs. How were married at Ely in August, 1915, and have one child, a son. They lived at Cauldwell- avenue, Ipswich.
Mr. Justice Henn Collins, giving judgment, said that the case was

was-for it disclosed a very strange sort of domestic life. It was common ground that Mrs. Edwards was living with Mr. How as his mistress for several months, during which
Mrs. How was a member of the household. WEEK-END AWAY FROM HIS WIFE
The charge was not denied by Mr. How and Mrs. Edwards, but it was pleaded that Mrs. How con- nived at the adultery.
The question which the Court had to decide was not whether Mrs. How know of that relationship and acquiesced in it but whether she con- sented.
In June, 1938, Mrs. Edwards visit- ed the house at Ipswitch. The following week-end Mr. How was away from his wife and, when tackled about it, he admitted that he had been with Mrs. Edwards and gave as his excuse the advice he had received from his doctor. If that story were accepted, it was clear that Mrs. How did not consent to the inception of the relationship.
The story told on the other side was that Mrs. How said that it might be a way out of the difficulty if her hus- band took Mrs. Edwards as his mis- tress. She suggested that her husband and Mrs. Edwards should talk it over in the garden and they did so.
"Reluctant as I am to believe that the state of things which undoubtedly did exist was brought about by the wife's consent. I am satisfied that it was so..
"An endeavour has been made to represent Mrs. How as someone completely downtrodden by a domineering. husband, but she did not give me that Impression:
"TERRIBLE INDIGNITY
"PUT ON HER" "Mr. and Mrs. How gave me the impression of being a couple with mutual trust and confidence, and it is inconceivable that 'a woman of her years and experience-if she did not know the inception of this to be what I am sure it was should not have taken any steps to leave the house in which this terrible indignity was being put on her.":
Referring to the evidence of Mr. and Mrs. How's son, the Judge sald that-the son had been put forward as a witness who should convince him that Mrs. How did not consent, be- cause the son often heard his mother imploring bis father to come back, to her. When that happened was an all- Important question.

I do not believe," said. Mr. Justice: Henn Collins, "that anything of the sort happened in the sense that the vite was asking the husband to dis- card his mistress until after Mrs.
RIGHT TO UNIFORM
Accused of wearing the uniform of an Army captain without authority, a former Dorset vicar, aged seventy-- one, claimed at Bow-street a privilege dating back 700 years..
He declared himself a descendant- of a knight whose family, in the time of Henry 11, was granted the right: "In perpetuity" to wear military uni- form during an emergency.
Maurice Kenah Exham, indepen-- dent, of Latymer Court, Hammer- smith, was remanded after he had told the magistrate that his was a right" which few people possessed.
One of his ancestors, Sir Richard". Exham, he said, raised a large force. of retainers at his own expense, and accompanied Strongbow to Ireland... Because of his services he was given a grant of land and the right for his descendants to wear uniform and bear arms in emergency.

families who have always been strong
"We are one of the old Anglo-Irish-
Unioniste. We were originally, plant- ed there by Strongbow with the Idea: allegiance with of bringing the Irish people round to
England," he went::
on,
"When Cromwell came into power my ancestors were dispossessed of their property in Kerry and Cork, but their ancient privilege was never re- voked."
He added that his first cousin, Co-- lonel Exham, R.E., who: constructed Rosyth-Dockyard, had consulted the College of Arms, the Heralds' Office, and the Ulster King, of Arms in Du- blin Castle. His investigations con- Airmed the right.
"On the outbreak of war. I applied. to enlist and received an intimation. that I had been placed on the Officers Emergency Reserve," Exham continu- ed. "On the strength of that I se-·· cured a uniform, at my own expense." I had no ulterior motive,"
Detective-Sergeant Norman said.'. Exham came from a good family and was educated at Dublin University,
How's married sister arrived at the house.
"From that time onwardeno doubt the wife did try to stop it, but not for very long, because onos she had left the house-again under the influence of, her relativea-cho- 10- fuged to answar letters her husband - wrote to her."
-Holding that Mr. How and Mrs. Ed- wards had made out their case, the Judge dismissed Mrs. How's petition....
