The parties were married in May, 1873 The respon- dent's maiden name was Emma Jane Bonfield. The peti- tioner was a farmer at Buckinbah at the time of his mar- riage, and is now a mail-coach proprietor at Manly Beach. They lived together happily for about seven years, and had four children, of whom only one is now surviving. About May, 1881, they were staying with petitioners brother near Parramatta. The co-respondent, whom Mrs. Black had known from childhood, was at this time staying with his people at Homebush. One day the three left Sydney together in the train, the petitioner going on to Orange, leaving his wife at Parramatta to be escorted home by Matthews. He afterwards learned that she had not been back to his brother's. He heard nothing of her for several weeks, when he found that she was living with Matthews. He taxed her with her conduct, but got no answer. He met Matthews one day, who said, " Well, Joey, how are you ? " but his only answer was a blow with a loaded whip which knocked Matthews off his horse. Senior-constable Murphy (noting C P S at Obley) gave evidence that proceedings had been taken by Mrs Black against Matthews for the maintenance of two children Mathews did not deny that they were his children, and paid £24 in settlement of her claim. His Honor thought it was a clear case, and granted a decree nisi, to take effect in six months. Source: National Library of Australia. Trove: one search...a wealth of information. [database on-line].

The parties were married in May, 1873 The respon- dent's maiden name was Emma Jane Bonfield. The peti- tioner was a farmer at Buckinbah at the time of his mar- riage, and is now a mail-coach proprietor at Manly Beach. They lived together happily for about seven years, and had four children, of whom only one is now surviving. About May, 1881, they were staying with petitioners brother near Parramatta. The co-respondent, whom Mrs. Black had known from childhood, was at this time staying with his people at Homebush. One day the three left Sydney together in the train, the petitioner going on to Orange, leaving his wife at Parramatta to be escorted home by Matthews. He afterwards learned that she had not been back to his brother's. He heard nothing of her for several weeks, when he found that she was living with Matthews. He taxed her with her conduct, but got no answer. He met Matthews one day, who said, " Well, Joey, how are you ? " but his only answer was a blow with a loaded whip which knocked Matthews off his horse. Senior-constable Murphy (noting C P S at Obley) gave evidence that proceedings had been taken by Mrs Black against Matthews for the maintenance of two children Mathews did not deny that they were his children, and paid £24 in settlement of her claim. His Honor thought it was a clear case, and granted a decree nisi, to take effect in six months. Source: National Library of Australia. Trove: one search...a wealth of information. [database on-line].

Black and Matthews.— This was a suit for divorce brought by Joseph Ebenezer Black against his wife, Emma Jane Black, in consequence of her adultery with Jacob Matthews. Mr. Ralston appeared for the petitioner. The respondent and the co-respondent were not represented. The parties were married on May 6, 1273, in Orange, and there are two children living. The respondent and the co-respondent had known each other since they were children. The petitioner and his wife came down to Sydney on a trip in 1881, and on returning, the co-respondent joined them at Home bush. From Granville the petitioner went on to Orange, but the other two stopped behind and went to Parramatta. They afterward lived together, and a child was born. His Honor found the issues proved, and made a decree nisi for dissolution accordingly.
