        THE DIVORCE COURT

        A LANDPORT CASE.

        WIFE KISSES GREENGROCER

        AND ELOPES WITH HIM TO SOUTH AFRICA.

        (SPECIAL TELEGRAM.)

        London, Thursday

        In the Divorce Court to-day, Mr J- Horridge granted a decree nisi To Charles Edward Mudd, of Hawke-street, Portsea, for the dissolution of his marriage [due] to the misconduct of his wife, Olive ???, with Stanley George Earle. There was no defence.

        The petitioner said he was married in Lake-road Chapel, Landport, in 1914, [and] they lived at Aylesbury-road, C- . When they were living at North-(), Lake-road, his wife used to buy things from Earle, who kept a greengrocer's shop in Church-street, near by. He thought she was spending too much time there, and afterwards heard that she had been seen kissing Earle. He complained, but she said it was only a friendly kiss. They went to live at Aylesbury-road, but she continued to see Earle, and later witness and his wife separated.

        Evidence was given that the respondant and Earle had gone away to South Africa together.
