THE

HONGKONG TELEGRAPH,

Told Wife" He Loved

Her Daughter

MET THROUGH MARRIAGE BUREAU

"THAT letter which you wrote was, I think, the most impudent thing I have ever come across. You not only swindle the woman, but then grossly insult her when you get her money by pretending you were in love with her married daughter Olive."

So said Mr. Justice Humphreys at Lewes Assizes recently, when sentencing Hugh Charles Morrison, 46-years-old architect, to 15 months' hard labour for marrying bigamously Florence Ide, a. 58-years-old widow, of Yapton, Sussex, and for obtaining £300 from her by false pretences.

It appeared to be a very cruel deception, said Mr. Eric Neve, prosecuting. Florence Ide, who kept a shop at Yapton, ap parently worried by illness and business, desired to get married again and put herself in touch with a matrimonial agency. As a result Morrison went to see her.

Morrison was married at the Hendon Register Office to n woman named Kathleen Ann Holman on March 11.
