GASKIN v. GASKIN.
John Gaskin, of Makara, farmer, for whom Mr. Skerrett appeared, applied for a dissolution of his marriage with the respondent, whom Mr. Wilford represented. Archibald Monk, who was joined as co-respondent, was not represented by counsel.
The petitioner, an elderly man, stated that he was marriage in Wellington in September, 1885, to Emily Harris, who was much younger than himself. Five children were born of the marriage. The trouble with Monk began at Mukara and was continued at Waikanae, the respondent ultimately leaving her home to live with Monk. Other evidence showed that Monk and Mrs. Gaskin had lived together for some-time at the home of Monk''s brother at Rikiorangi.
A decree nisi, was granted, with £30 costs against the co-respondent.
