"Hoboes," he told the
Newr Chronicle, "are people who either have the wanderlust born in them or thrust upon them. They work to live, and the original hoboes were surely the tinkers of England in Queen Elizabeth's time.

Proceedings Stayed In £70,000 Income Dispute
"I congratulate the parties on having brought
to an end what I can only regard as very unfortun- ate litigation."
This remark, made by Mr. Justice Crossman in the Chancery Court, followed the announcement of the settlement of one of the most remarkable actions brought in the Law Courts during recent years.
Opposed in it were a Member of Parliament and his wealthy wife, who have been separated for over a year.
As a result of the settlement an order was made stay- ing all proceedings in the husband's claim to be entitled to one-third share in his wife's income of between £70,000 and £90,000, and his wife's counterclaim for a declaration that certain deeds executed by her had been revoked.
STATEMENTS BY COUNSEL
A crowded court assembled for the fourth day's hearing heard the dramatic announce- ment of the settlement of the dispute between Capt. A. S. Cunningham-Reid, 43, Con- servative M.P. for Marylebone; and Mrs. Cunningham-Reid, 30, formerly the Hon. Ruth Mary Clarisse Ashley, younger daughter of the first Baron Mount Temple, and a sister of Lady Louis Mountbatten.
Mrs. Cunningham-Reld was not in court, but Capt. Cunningham-Reld sat in the solicitors' sent with his mother, who greeted him when they met with a kiss, and displayed a good hick, gifta silver decoration-saved from his wedding cake.
Previously there had been con- sultations between counsel on both sides.
When Mr. Justice Crossman was due to appear the two "leaders," Sir Fatrick Hastings, K.C., for Mrs. Cun- ningham-Neid, and Str Stafford Cripps, K.C., for Capt. Cunningham- Rold, were still in conference.
The judge remained in his private room until the two K.Cs visited him there.
After they had spoken with him he took his acat in court .50 minutes after the ordinary time of commence- ment.
COUNSEL'S STATEMENT
Sir Patrick immediately rose, and caid:
"I am in a position to inform your lordship that It will not be necessary for this case to proceed any further.
"All that I can say is that both parties agree in asking your lord- ship to make an order for all pro- ceedings, brought in the action and in the counter-claim to be stayed.
"May I just add this one ob- servation. Your lordship will, of course, know that I have not yet had an opportunity of making a statement of the case to you.
"I think it is right that I should state my entire agreement with what Mr. F. R. Evershed, K.C., for Capt. Cunningham-Reid, has stated to you that in the plead- ings in this case there was no Inference of undto influence, fraud, or dishonesty.
"Certain statements were
made in the course of the proceedings relating to a personal arrange- ment between Lord Louis Mount- balten and his wife. That lady and
gentleman are not partles to the proceedhags, and, in fact, are abroad, but I am instructed authoritatively to state that there is no ground whatever for the statements."
Sir Stafford, Cripps said he did not think it was necessary for him to add anything, except to say that his client was very glad that they had been able to come to a settlement.
Mr. Justice Crossman then granted a stay of proceedings in the action without any order as to coets.

THE CASE
IN BRIEF
CAPT. A. S. Cunningham-Reis,
43-year-old Conservative M.P. for St. Marylebone since 1932, brought the action against his wife, the Hon. Ruth Mary Clarisse Ashley, younger daughter of Baron Mount Temple.
He claimed a declaration that certain deeds executed by his wife settling part of her income between £700,000 and £90,000 a year on him were binding on her and two com- panies.
Mrs. Cunningham-Reid con- tended that the deeds were revocable.
Capt. and Mrs. Cunningham- Reid were married in May, 1927. Mrs. Cunningham-Reld was 20 at the time of the wedding, and a ward. In Chancery. They have two
children.
With her sister, Lady Louis Mountbatten, she shared, the £6,000,000 fortune left by their grandfather, Sir Ernest Cassal.
Capt. and Mrs. Cunningham- Reld separated in 1936, and it was stated during the case that divorce proceedings are pending.
