CHRISTO-
PHER JAMES COOPER, aged twenty-one, of the Royal. Horse Guards, took his thirty-one-year-old, bride- to-be to London. There she signed a document.
It was an agreement which purported to relieve them both of all responsibility to each other after marriage:
Cooper produced it when his wife, Beatrice Maud, of Victorin-street, Windsor, applied to the Windsor magistrates for a maintenance order. WANTED A NAME
Mr. Donald Macintyre, for Cooper, said: "It IN probably the most re markable document ever produced in
a British court of lay, but I main- tairs that it is good in law."
Mrs. Cooper said that shortly! before they were due to be married she
signed the agreement in a Lon- don walling, room, She read it through, but did not realise that it meant that she was renouncing all claim upon her husband and any children.
She added: "I would have signed anything, even my death warrant, to get a name for the baby I was expecting.
"After the ceremony I went one way and he another. We have never Ilved together or met since until: now."
HE PAID £5
Cooper said that he explained the agreement to his wife. All she wanted; was a name for the baby. lie gavej ber his name, keeping his part of the bargain.
Mr. Hezlett, of Windsor, for the wife, said that in his opinion the agreement, although it was stamped, signed by both parties, and drawn up by a solicitor, for which the trooper paid £5, bad from start to Anish. It aimed to defeat everything that marriage meant, und it

The Bench ordered Cooper to pay 178. 8d. a week for the maintenance | of his wife and child.
