News Article - Will
Note: Some years ago, Mr. Arthur Ernest Spinks, late of Whiporie, and his wife executed a deed of separation under which he agreed to pay his wife so long as she remained chaste £3/10/per week for 12 months and thereafter £2/10/- per week for the support of her self in full satisfaction of all claims upon him.

Some years ago, Mr. Arthur Ernest Spinks, late of Whiporie, and his wife executed a deed of separation under which he agreed to pay his wife so long as she remained chaste £3/10/per week for 12 months and thereafter £2/10/- per week for the support of her self in full satisfaction of all claims upon him.

Mr. Spinks died in January leaving an estate of £4000 net. By his will he gave his wife a life estate in two cottages, which yield about £1 per week net, and the remainder to his daughter. His residuary estate he gave to Mrs. Wood, and appointed her an executrix of his will.

The widow and daughter applied for increased provision under the Testator's Family Maintenance Act, and their applications came on for hearing on Thursday. During the hearing his Honor drew attention to Kirk v Eustace (1937 A.C. 491), suggesting that possibly the estate might be bound to pay Mrs. Spinks £2/10/ a week during her life, and at his suggestion an originating summons was taken out to determine the question.

Counsel for the estate argued that the usual object of a deed of separation was to provide for the wife during the joint lives only of her and her husband, and that 'this caste did not come within Kirk v Eustace because the words 'during her life' were absent. It was also argued that 'so long as she remained chaste' indicated that the liability of the husband was only during the joint lives of the parties because the meaning of chaste was 'free from unlawful intercourse,' and intercourse by a widow could not be unlawful, though pos sibly immoral.

His Honor reserved his decisions in the summons and the widow's application under the Testator's Family Maintenance Act. The daughter's application was stood over to allow of further evidence being submitted.
