Windsor & Richmond Gazette, Saturday, March 3, 1900 - page 6 WINDSOR POLICE COURT Tuesday, February 27. (Before Mr. Wilshire, P.M. and Messrs. T. Primrose, J. Ross, J. Mahoney, and D. Mayne, J's. P.) Domestic Trouble Emma Alice Maund sued Harry Maund, of Riverstone, for maintenance. Mr. McCauley appeared for the defendant. Emma Alice Maund deposed that on the 19th December she left her home because of a quarrel she had with her husband ; he beat her ; they had a quarrel over something he forbade her to do ; her husband ordered her away ; she had not lived with him since December 19 ; he had often been cruel to her ; she was afraid to live with him ; she was doing sewing, and he asked who it was for ; she gave him a wrong answer, and he tore the sewing up and struck her ; for five weeks previous to leaving she had received no money from her husband, and she was trying to get a little by sewing ; he struck her on the arm that day ; three days after he struck her at his sister's place, with his shut fist ; she went to Constable Grigor about it ; she had not asked her husband for money fir herself since she left, but had asked him to support their child ; his treatment was so cruel and unreasonable that she could not live with him ; her husband was employed at the meat-works, and was getting 35/- ! per week when she left home ; she asked for 10/- per week. Mr. McCauley said that they had a good defence, and it would show that his client was quite justified in turning his wife away ; if the case went on he would have to submit the witness to a deal of delicate cross-examination. His client was really the one who had the grievance but if the wife would promise to have nothing further to do with a certain person he would be willing to take her back. For the sake of the parties he hoped the case would be settled, and he did not want to drag other names into [the] it unless he was compelled to. The Bench acted as mediator, and urged an amicable settlement. Mrs. Maund gave the necessary promise and her husband agreed to pay the costs of the Court. Congratulations. At the conclusion of the Court business on Tuesday, Mr. McCauley expressed the pleasure of the Court at seeing the police Magistrate, Mr. Wilshire back on the Bench after his recent serious accident. He said that personally he was delighted to know that Mr. Wilshire had recovered. Mr. Thomas Primrose, J.P., said the Bench was pleased and gratified to meet the P.M. again, and to know that he had recovered. Although Mr. Wilshire had been absent for some time, he was often in the minds of the magistrates, all of whom sympathised deeply with him. Mr. Wilshire thanked Mr. McCauley and Mr. Primrose for their words, and for the generous feeling that prompted them. He always liked to meet the solicitors, and although he had many little "tiffs" with them, they had always treated him with the utmost respect, courtesy and consideration. He was pleased to be back with the Justices of the Windsor Bench, and would be thankful for renewed support and assistance from them. Mr. Primrose had generously said that though lost to sight he had been to memory dear. He was glad to inform them that he had almost recovered from the effects of the accident, and was glad to return to duty.
