AN ERRANT HUSBAND
A WIFE'S STORY.
At the local court, on Monday, Bert Shuttleworth, an electrician, appeared under arrest, charged with deserting his wife and child.

Mr. McFarlane appeared for the complainant, and defendant denied the charge.

Margaret Shuttleworth stated that she had been married to defendant in 1906, and there was one boy of the marriage. Her husband had been working at the Sunshine Harvester works as an electrician, but had left his work and gone away. He had agreed to pay her £1 a week. but had paid her nothing since October 26th. She did not know where he was. but was told he frequented the Temperance hall. She went there, and saw her husband in company with a young woman. She followed them after the concert. Her husband took the young woman to her home in Fitzroy, and on the way had his arm round her waist.

Then she took out a summons for maintenance, and served it on him on another night at the Temperance Hall. She thrust the blue paper into his collar as he stooped to lift the child. When she told him what it was, he said he would have nothing to do with it, and would not attend the court.

Then a warrant was issued for his arrest, and she was now keeping a boarding-house at Sunshine. Defendant said he was quite prepared to keep his wife.
Mr. Mitchell: Well, why don't you?
Defendant: Because I am out of work. She kept a letter in which an offer of a job came.
Mr. M'Farlane: No work is a strange complaint these times.
Defendant said his wife neglected the home to go to dances.
Mr. Mitchell: And what are you doing?

Finally, an order was made that defendant should pay 15s. a week towards the support of his wife and child, and find a surety forthwith of £20 for payment of same. A brother of the defendant provided the surety.
