Mrs Dwan and Master Percy Iles gave corroborative evidence.

ELUSIVE ILES.

Sarah Iles, 45, of Kidd's Gully, Daylesford, sought divorce from George Iles, 46 on the ground of desertion.

The parties were married on Mar 17, 1898, and lived at Richmond for a time. Then petitioner returned to her mother at Daylesford, respondent agreeing to send money for her support. This, however, he did not do, and she had had to work for her living and the support of her only child ever since 1900. Meantime, the respondent had disappeared since about 1904, and he could not be traced.

A decree nisi was granted.
