In the course of her testimony, which she gave with some emotion. the complainaut spoke of having been assaulted on three distinct occasions, and alleged that much of the unhappiness of her married life was due to the unreasonable attitude of her mother-in-law, who had made her home with them.
Mrs. Farid
was represented by Mr. G. K. Hall Brutton, while the husband was defended by Mr. E. S. C. Brooks.
In opening the case for the com- plainant. Mr. Hall Brutten said: in "The parties were married November 1928, and they lived to. gether, I think, up til about De cember 22 of last year. During that period she complains that her husband has ill-treated her, 332- suited bor, and helittled her on every occasion he could, and failed to provide her with ordinary pro- per food and maintenance. On three occasions during that purled she has been beaten by him, and on the Inst occasion. In December of last year, she left her husband for good, refusing to live with him any longer.
"I think that your Worship after hearing on the facts, will come to the conclusion that it is impossible. for this lady to live with her hus- band any longer."

Bates at Just put the inss down and gave it up. "Well, he's gone," he said. And as in speaks of the dead he added, grudgingly, "It was a game fight, het up-the lottne!"
Mary pointed suddenly and cried, "Look, what's that?"
"Where?" Excitedly Bates threw the glass up to his eye.
"Over there. By the prison, Just at the point where the land and

It was merely a moving white peek to her eye, but Bates ex- claimed. "By George, he made it! He's tying up at the old pler! What do you know about that?"
"But where has he been? Why didn't we see him?"
