James M'Kean, attorney for the petitioner, gave evidence of the service of the petition on Mr Justice Williams and tlie Attorney-Gene ral, Ralph Low, clerk in tho Registrar General's office, produced a certificate of the marriage between John Thomas Burkin and Julia Warke, on 21st August, 1882. Henry Warke, brother of the petitioner, proved the service of the petition and citation on the respondent at Sydney. Julia Birkin, the petitioner, who is 23 years of age, and was born at Majorca said she was married to the respondent, John Thomas Birkin, at Echuca on 21st August 1882, by the Rev John Johnstone.,Presbyterian minister. Immediately after the marriage they went to Goldsbrough, and afterwards to Kyneton, remaining about two months at each place. Her husband, who was away frequently, was a sheep drover. She knew a woman named Mary Strong. She had a conversation with her husband about her at Kyneton about six weeks after the marriage. He admitted a previous Improper intimacy with this woman, after this they went to Sandhurst. The respondent got intoxicated at the refreshment rooms, and he started beating her on the station before all the passengers. He hit her across the head and threw her against the station. She reproached him for his conduct. He got worse, so she went home to her mother's, at Echuca. He remained at Sand hurst. She remained with her mother one night, and then returned home to Kyneton, Her husband was not there. When they left Kyneton for Sandhurst it was only for a trip. She enquired about her hus band at Kyneton, and could not hear of him so she returned to her mother's at Echuca, re maining three months. During this titme she did not see her Husband, but heard that he had passed through with sheep. There she took out a warrant for his arrest for deserting her, but she did not prosecute the matter. She remembered her husband coming to her mother's house about June, 1883. He beat her, tore up her clothes, blackened her eyes, cut her lip, dashed her on the floor, and bruised her all over. She was attended by Drs Murdoch and Osborne She was in bed for over a week in consequence of his treatment. He returned again, intoxicated, on the same day and wished her to go out for a drive with him, but she would not. Then he produced a penknife and wished to cut her throat. He also beat her until she was rescued by some people. Then she went to stay with her sister at Footscray. Before this she brought him up on summons, and he was bound over to keep the peace. She stayed at Footscray for a week and returned to Echuca. One morning he came about five o'clock and pulled her out of bed in her nightdress, and carried her down to the Campaspie, saying he was going to drown her. Her brother and some other friend went after her and made him let her go. Dr Dobson : How far had be carried you ? Petitioner : Over half a mile. She did not think she had seen him since. The letter produced was in her husband's writing. (It was dated 25th August, 1885 from Sydney, and stated that he was living with a woman.) She went over to Sydney, and in company with a man named James Piles she went to a house in Sydney. They broke into a room at night, and found the respondent in company with Mary Strong. Jamen Piles was a groom at the George hotel. They had been unable to find him. She had not lived with her husband since 1882, and she received no maintenance from him since. Henry Warke recalled, said he first saw Mary Strong in Echuca, at the beginning of 1883. He believed she was a dressmaker. When he went to Sydney he saw her sitting on the respondent's verandah with him. He heard a child crying in the house The date of the attempted drowning would be in 1883. It was just breaking day in the summer time. Incon sequence of what his mother said he went after Burkin and his sister. He had great trouble to get her away. She was attired in her night-dress. They were over half a mile away before he came up. The respondent was sober. He said he was going to drown her. The witness said he should not, and he and several other managed to get her away and bring her home. She was very much exhausted. Ethel Goss, a friend of Mrs Birkin, recollected the month of June, 1883. The respondent came to the house of Mrs Birkin s mother, broke the furniture, knocked things about, and beat his wife. The witness interfered to prevent him illtreating his wife, and he then threat ened her. After the attempted drowning, when she remonstrated with the respondent, he said he was going to give his wife a cool bath and drown her. The same day he came with a buggy and pair iintoxicated and wanted her to go out for a drive. Upon her refusing, he started thrashing her with the whip. Subsequently he beat her and the witness found her lying on the floor help less, black in the face, complaining that her was broken. Dr. Dobon submitted that the petitioner's case had been established. His Honor had no doubt of the misconduct. The evidence of cruelty was not so strong as it should be ; but, coupled with the desertion, he considered the proofs were sufficient, and granted a decree nisi.
