Arrested for Wife Maintenance

STORY IN DIVORCE COURT

Cecil Basden Gaston, a returned soldier, petitioned Mr. Justice Gordon, in the Sydney Divorce Court, to-day, to make an order against Rose Gaston (formerly Hurley) tor restitution of conjugal rights. On behalf of respond ent there were issues of desertion and cruelty.

The marriage took place in Sydney on February 13. 1909. Mr. Young and Mr. Perry (instructed by Messrs. Rose and Dawes) appeared for the petitioner, and Mr. Hammond (instructed by Messrs. M'Donald and Moffatt for the respondent.

Petitioner said he had always treated his wife well, but she could not agree with him. Trouble had been caused by her people, and in 1913 she left him. In 1915 he enlisted, and went to the war, and on his return he was arrested on a warrant taken out by his wife.

Mr. Hammond: Were you in the habit of throwing things at your wife when you were drunk?— I have never been drunk in my life. Respondent said her husband developed drinking habits soon after their marriage, and when he went on a spree he used to come home, and throw things at her.

In November 1911, her husband went away lo America without telling her of his intention. When he returned they went to live on an orchard and poultry farm near Parramatta. 'One day,' said witness, 'we had words concerning his behavior, and he picked up a shovel, and told me he would cut me down with it. I afterwards had to leave the house, and stay with friends because I was afraid of him.'

Witness said that when her husband was not drinking he was quite all right.
He went to the war, and on his return she had him arrested for disobeying an order for maintenance. Before he went to the war they had not been living together, having separated in 1913.

Mr. Young: Then your welcome home to your husband when he returned from the war was to have him arrested?— I believe he was arrested. Up to the time he went to the war I could not find him.

Isn't it a fact that the reason you didn't take proceedings against him for desertion in 1913, 1914 and 1915 was that he had no means?— No; it was not. I didn't know where to find him.

His Honor dismissed the petition.
