"No," replied "Mr, Z." "Mr. Z
denied that Kuik had always said there had been no mia conduct between himself and Mrs. Z."
"Mr. Gorst (defendant); Let us see what the letters are that speak for themselves.
"Mr. Z": Is it necessary to quote any of them!.
Letters Quoted.
Mr. Gorst I quote two passages because they are in your wife's favour.
Counsel then read the following
passages:-
"We have never had more than two minutes together since we met.
"Yet must realise that if this Fell into others hands it is enough to divorce me, although you and I know better, but people are so wicked."
Mr. Z: The fact that we are still together, shows that I did not believe what he told me.
Mr. Gorst: When he said at your house he had never committed mis- conduct did you hit him in the face as well as your wile 1-Yes, but I was rather sorry afterwards that I bail.
Mr. Z" said that he apologised to Kuik for hitting him.
Mr. Justice Swift That passes. my comprehension. Why did you do it 1-It was a narrow passage and I did not think he had a proper chance:
Mr. Justice Swift: If your story in true I wonder you did not kick him out of the narrow passage. But perhaps people who have to have interpreters do not see "things as we do.
Mrs. 2," a fair-haired woman, dressed in a grey tweed costume and green hat, said that she made Kaik's acquaintance in October, 1928. She afterwards met him oc- casionally without her husband's knowledge.
Mr. Peregring: What were your feelings towards him I was in- fatuated with him.
Have you ever committed miscon- 'duct with him 1-Never.
Mr. Gorst (cross-examining); Did you tell Kuik that you husband usually got his own way i-No.
Mr. Justice Swift: Most wives think their husbands get their own way and most husbands are, sure. their wives do. (Laughter.) The trial was adjourned.
