(Before Mr. Jtutieo Simpson.)||@@||(Before Mr. Justice Simpson.)
CLANK r. CLAUS AXÎl AUSTIN.||@@||CLANK v. CLARN AND AUSTIN. The petitioner, Thomas Morton Clank, of Redfern, coachsmith, prayed for a dissolution of his marriage with Sarah Ellen Clank (formerly Sarah Ellen Owen) on the ground of adultery with the co-respondent, Peter Austin. The marriage took place on April 11, 1875, at the parish church, in the parish of St. James the Less, in the county of Lancaster, England. His Honor said he was of the opinion that this case was not governed by the decision of the Full Court in Baldwin v. Baldwin, or Linscott v. Linscott. If it were he should, of course, be bound to follow that decision, and would willingly do so. When the case of Baldwin v. Baldwin was before him he was of the opinion that it was the duty of the petitioner to have stood by his wife. No doubt he behaved very well to her after leaving her. Still, the view he took was that if was the duty of the husband to protect his wife even against her herself. But in that case the circumstances were very different to those in this. The question of connivance did not arise in that case, but his decision was based on the opinion that on the opinion that the petitioner by his neglect conduced to the adultery of his wife. In this case he was of opinion that there was evidence of connivance, and he must fulfil the duty which the Legislature had cast upon him of finding out whether there had been such misconduct as the Legislature had said should be a bar to divorce. His Honor referred to
rille, ukodfi_||@@||section 26 of the original Divorce Act, where it is said that in case the Court shall find that the petitioner has during the marriage been accessory to or has connived at the adultery of the other party, the Court shall dismiss the petition. It must, he said, be carefully borne in mind that the adultery relied upon in this case was that committed in Victoria-street on April 22, and that was the only adultery proved. Therefore, in accordance with the express terms of the Legislature in section 26, he must dismiss the petition. His Honor then referred to the definition of "connivance" in Gipps v. Gipps, in which case the Lord Chancellor said in his judgment : "The word 'conniving ' is not to be limited to the literal meaning of wilfully refusing, or electing not to see, or become acquainted with, that which you know or believe is happening or about to happen. It must include the case of a husband acquiescing in, by wilfully abstaining from taking any steps to prevent, that adulterous intercourse which, from what passes before his eyes, he cannot but believe or reasonably suspect is likely to occur." If, observed his Honor, the petitioner knew that adultery was going to be committed,
Mich«! Joesph Madden, of .Ultimo, aa the ground||@@||and took no steps to prevent it for the purpose of obtaining a divorce, then he would be conniving at the adultery. There could be no doubt whatever in the mind of any reasonable man in the position of the petitioner on the occasion in question that adultery was then about to be committed. He took no steps to prevent it, and must, in accordance with the opinion of the Lord Chancellor in Gipps v. Gipps, be taken to have connived at it. Mr. McIntyre, who was for the petitioner, argued that the object which the petitioner had in his mind was to satisfy himself as to suspicions he had of previous misconduct by his wife. His Honor said that if this woman had behaved improperly before, and that the petitioner had reason to believe she had been behaving in an improper way, he could quite understand that he might wish to satisfy himself as to her guilt, but so far as he knew there was no evidence of previous misconduct. He did not wish to prevent the petitioner from obtaining relief if he could show that he was entitled to it, and he therefore would allow him to amend his petition in any way he might be advised, but the amended petition must be served on respondent and co-respondent, who
