WIFE
TOLD
SAYS BANK MANAGER
REVEALED BETS TO HUSBAND
A DOCTOR'S wife who
complained that a bank manager had told her hus band that she had drawn cheques in favour of book- makers sued Barclay's Bank, Ltd., for damages in the King's Bench Division re- cently,
She was Mrs. Mary Sunder- land, wife of Dr. Arthur Sunder- land, of Hyde Park-mansions, Marylebone, W.
Mr. F. Beney (for Mrs. Sunder land) said that on June 12, 1937, there was not enough in her account with Barclay's branch at Edgware- road, W., to pay a cheque for £2 155. which Mrs. Sunderland drew, pay- able to a Miss Wilson. Without warning, the cheque was returned "refer to drawer.'
ASKED FOR APOLOGY
When Mrs. Sunderland told her husband about it he drew a cheque for the amount and the matter was disposed of.
Mr. Sunderland, feeling aggrieved, got in touch with the bank manager.. Occasionally she had made bels, sometimes winning and sometimes losing Dr. Sunderland knew that but did not know that the account was being used in a substantial way for payments to two bookmakers.
In a telephone conversation Mrs. Sunderland asked the bank manager for an apology about Miss Wilson's cheque. He refused.
Dr. Sunderland then spoke to the manager, who told him that most of the cheques drawn by Mrs. Sunder- Innd on the account were going to a hookmaker. That was not true; only 10 out of 50 had been paid to book- makers.
"DID NOT KNOW"
To defend his wife the docter said he knew all about it, but, in fact, he did not, and there was considerable unhappiness for some time.
The bank maintained, in its de- fence, that the information was given with Mrs. Sunderland's consent and to protect her interests.
In evidence Mrs. Sunderland said her husband did not know she was betting and she was anxious that he should not have known. The cheque to Mine Wilson was for dressmaking, She told her husband that she had had the cheque returned. Then she spoke to the bank manager, who cald he could not write an apology_but would write to the manager of Miss Wilson's bunk so as to get her to pre- sent the cheque and have it hon- oured.
It was suggested that the case should be adjourned for the parties to try to come to terms. Later Mr. Wallington, K.C. (for the bank), sald It was impossible.
"NEVER ADDED IT UP"
Mr. Wellington asked Mrs. Suther- land: Would it astonish you to learn that since 1935 there were 36 cheaucz
