An Australian woman, named Elsie Forrest, who came out to India in 1904 as a dancer in a theatrical company of which the strong man Sandow was the star, has been the principal character in a sensational suit for maintenance Mr against the Raja of Tikari.

Some months ago she sued the Raja for maintenance under a deed of gift which. she alleged, he had entered into.
The Judge before thom the case was tried dismisses the claim for an annuity, as the alleged dood „in', her favour was not in effect a legal deed. The Judge also found that her alleged marrings with the Raja was illegal, because her conversion to Hinduism was not accord. ing to Hind law, and also because her divorce from her husband. Sitwell, being obtained in a Sydney Court, ber mar riage was fraudulent without the juris diction of that Court. He also found her conduct after marriage such as not] to obtain for her the sympathy of res pectable society.
The Judge also expressed the opinion that the claim of the Raja for the re- covery of the Tikari family jewels from the plaintiff was likely to succeed, as these were givin for personal adornment only and not as a gift.
