A SECRET MARRIAGE AT PRESTON
- STRANGE REVELATIONS -
ADULTERY AND DESERTION
In the Divorce Court, a few days ago, the case of Cullimore v Cullimore was heard.
There was also an undefended suit, in which the wife sued for divorce, on the grounds of her husband's adultery and desertion.
The parties were married secretly at Preston in 1854, the petitioner being at the time under age. After the marriage they resided for four days at the Bush Hotel there, when they separated, and the petitioner returned to her friends. Soon after that the respondent committed adultery with several women, one of whom lived with him for several years, and had several children by him.
In 1860 he went to America, but had since returned. He had never offered to take his wife to cohabitation with him, nor given anything for her support. 
The desertion and adultery having been proved, the Court pronounced a decree nisi.
