Albury Police Court. — Edward Bownds,
a youthful shoemaker, was brought up at the
Albury Police Court, on Tuesday, charged
with having deserted his wife. It was stated
that the fickle son of St. Crispin had trans
ferred his affections to a damsel nearer his
own age than the partner of his affections,
and with her had made tracks to the Tum-
barumba district. Bownds, in order that
enquiries might be made whether the transfer
were justifiable, was remanded for eight
days.
