HE WOULD NOT LEAVE HIS MOTHER. - A bad case of wife desertion was heard this afternoon by the Hartlepool Borough Bench. - The complainant, Mary Agnes Wilson, a pale delicate-looking girl, who gave her evidence with difficulty, said she was married to defendant, Edward S. Wilson, shipyard plater at Easter 1892. After the wedding her husband, though earning about 37 shillings a week, took her to live with his mother, who occupied two rooms on the Town Wall. There were five adult persons living in the same two rooms, and she was made so ill that she had to go to her parents to recruit her health. Defendant told her he wouldn't leave his mother as long as she lived, and he had not contributed to her support since May last year, since which time she had been dependent upon her father. - The desertion was denied, defendant stating that his wife left him. - The Bench said that the case was one of the worst of the kind that had come before them, and made an order for 12 shillings a week.
