Agnes Isabella (Cole) Dobson - Divorce Court
Agnes Isabella (Cole) Dobson - Divorce Court
DOBSON HAD WEIRD IDEAS
That's What His Wife Alleged QUEER sort of a chap, Joseph Dobson, blacksmith, of Subiaco, was alleged to be by his wife, Agnes Isabella Dobson, who told her story to Mr. Justice Dwyer in the Divorce Court during the present session. Knocked her about, blackening both her eyes, till she left him, and then later sneered at her, telling her she hadn't got backbone enough to go out to work after she was married like her sister did, so she alleged.
The Dobson's got married in November, 1925. Three children were born of the marriage, but only one of them is still living. He and she lived together until January, 1929, but only the first twelve months of that was happy. After that, Dobson used to come home drunk, and abuse her, and use all sorts of filthy language, she said. Finally he came home one night and went for her with his fists. That was when he blackened her eyes and she left him. She took a job as a waitress in the country. She was away for seven weeks and then returned to stay at her mother's place.
WOULD NOT PAY
They had come to some arrangement to live together again and she went and got herself a job in Mount Lawley. But one night when she came home she found the house closed, and all the furniture gone. Dobson left nothing to show where he had gone. There were two children to keep at this time, and she had to get some help, so she searched for him, and three months later fend him at Subiaco. where he was still living. She asked him if he was going to keep the children and herself. He said that he would keep the eldest child, but neither herself nor the youngest child. He said, in fact, that the youngest child was not his. At present, Mrs. Dobson said, she was working for her living. His Honor had no difficulty in reaching the conclusion that she should have her decree, returnable in six months.

Arnold Clyde Ernest Hillbrick Married for Only 16 Days (1948)
Mirror (Perth, WA:1921-1956) - Sat 7 Aug 1948 - Page 8
MARRIAGE LASTED ONLY 16 DAYS
Sixteen short days of married life, including a 10-day honeymoon, was apparently, enough for Arnold Clyde Ernest Hillbrick. Then he informed wife Margaret Winifred Hillbrick 'I can't settle down. I want to be free. I'm dissatisfied with the marriage. It would be better to leave you now, rather than live with you and cause unhappiness.' And so saying. Arnold left. That was the complete history of their married life. Margaret Hillbrick told Mr. Justice Wolff in the Divorce Court. They wed on Dec. 18, 1944. On Jan. 3, 1945, Arnold walked out. After the honeymoon, she said, they went to live with her mother. He seemed very restless and couldn't settle down. He spent all day away from home. When she asked him what was wrong he came right out with it—and left. 'I have written to him several times to try to make it up,' said Margaret, 'but he won't do so. I have given it up now.' That was why she wanted a divorce, she intimated. And because Arnold Hillbrick had deserted her, Margaret got the decree which lawyer Fred Curran sought for her. Hillbrick will pay.

WHARF PILLAGING. LUMPER CONVICTED. Three Months' Gaol. "Pillaging from the wharves has got to stop," said Mr F. M. Read, SM, in Fremantle Police Court yesterday when he sentenced Arnold John Hillbrick (44), lumper, to three months' gaol on each of two charges of stealing and receiving and unlawful possession. The sentences were to be served concurrently. In evidence Plainclothes Constable G. Johnston said that on September 1 last the USN stores' authorities had reported the theft of a pair of binoculars, valued at ?33, from the cargo of a ship discharging at Fremantle. Yesterday a search had been made of Hillbrick's home and the binoculars were found on his dressing-table. A further search revealed two one-gallon tins of paint, an alarm clock, a breast drill and three packets of vulcanising patches, reasonably suspected of having been stolen. The alarm clock was one of 300 which had been stolen from the wharf some months ago. Hillbrick said that the binoculars had been loaned to him yesterday, that he had bought the alarm clock and the vulcanising patches in a hotel and that he had found the paint "lying about on the wharf," and carried it away. He did not know how the drill got into his shed. Inspector G. Findlay prosecuted.

Esther Louisa (Gardiner) Cunningham Divorce in Detail
Esther Louisa (Gardiner) Cunningham Divorce in Detail
WIFE'S ULTIMATUM
"GO FOR YOUR LIFE"
PREFERRED SINGLE LIFE AGAIN

Tell Ted he can go for his life and get a divorce if he wants to, but, so far as I am concerned, I'm finished with him, declared Esther Louisa Cunningham when representations were made to her to return to her husband, Edward Joseph Cunningham, whom she deserted some three years ago.
Cunningham, a tall, middle-aged man, employed in the Commonwealth Lighthouse Department, told the Chief Justice, Sir Robert McMillan, this morning, when petitioning for a divorce, that he had never been able to understand his wife's attitude. He had his suspicions, of course, but could offer no reason why she left him. He said they were married at Perth in 1902, and lived very happily together at the various lighthouses where he was stationed, notably at Point Moore, Geraldton, and Breaksea Island. They lived at the last-mentioned lighthouse for 11 years, and had two children, a girl born in 1903 and since married, and a boy born in 1907. When war broke out Cunningham said he enlisted, and his wife and children resided with her parents at Leederville. She was well provided for, and they corresponded regularly with one another. When he returned to Perth in 1919, however, he discovered that his wife had left her parents home, and was working as a cook at a timber mill, somewhere in the country. Her people refused to tell him where she was, and a letter which she left behind said that he could take the children, as having lived on her own for three years she found that Single Life Suited Her. Cunningham said he placed the boy in a boarding school and took his daughter with him to Point1 Charles Lighthouse, in the Northern Territory. They returned on holiday leave in 1922. His daughter married, and he managed to secure an interview with his wife, but she still refused to return to him, and so he went North again, this time to Cape Don Lighthouse. He returned to Perth again on holiday in December last, and endeavored to get his wife to change her mind. His brother saw her, and she gave him a letter, in which she wrote that she was perfectly content to "Paddle her Own Canoe," and had not the slightest intention of ever returning to him. In reply to his Honor, Cunningham saw that he had experienced no trouble whatever with his wife, and prior to him going away to the war they always lived on the most happy terms. He knew of no reason why she should have decided to cut adrift, but, of course, had his suspicions. Frederick Cunningham, a Government employee and brother of petitioner, gave evidence that when he interviewed Mrs. Cunningham on February 12 last, in an endeavor to bring the couple together again, she replied: "Tell Ted he can go for his life and get a divorce if he wants to, but, so far as I am concerned, I'm Finished with Him." In granting a decree nisi, returnable in six months, his Honor remarked that he could not understand why respondent had left her husband. As a matter of fact, he, said, he was not called upon to ascertain the reason, and it was enough for him to say that she had no just cause or excuse for her conduct. Mr. Hubert Parker appeared for Cunningham.

PARTRIDGE'S GROUSE TIME AS LOVEBIRD
When a gardener finds an unwelcome bird encroaching on his home lot and pirating the most treasured thing therein, he is likely to feel extremely un friendly towards the feathered one. And that's just how John Samuel Gardiner felt about the Partridge who poached oa his domestic domain.

Gardiner didn't need a trap to catch the bird who was causing all the strife. Partridge just took what he wanted back to his nest, and used only the flimsiest camouflage to con ceal her. When. John barged in one night with sleuth Colin Lennox on hie heels, David Partridge and Mrs. Bernice Cecilia Gardiner took things very calmly. They even admitted that they'd been posing as 'Mr. and Mrs.' for some time. Started Going Out It was the end or the trail for John, who married Bernice in 1933. Until 1936, he told Mr. Justice Wolff, they were quite happy, but in that year he had to work back . a lot. Several nights he came home late to find the children alone. His objections were brushed aside. From then on life was no garden of Eden, and in April 1939 they separated under a deed. In 1940 he enlisted, was discharged soon after his return from the Middle East in 1942. No Denials In January 1946 Gardiner went with Colin Lennox to a house in Wellington-fit. An inquiry for 'Mrs. Partridge' was answered by the' appearance of Bernice's head through a window. Inside they found Part ridge in bed with only his pants on. They didn't deny a thing. Next step was to lawyer Bill Elihick, who look Gardiner before Mr. Justice Wolff. Judge saw no reason why he shouldn't grant the petition, gave John his decree on the grounds of Bernice's infidelity. Partridge has the bill coming up.

YOUNG WIFE TELLS OF THREAT TO DISFIGURE
Married less than 2 years ago, attractive, fair-haired young blonde Evelyn Rachel Hillbrick made an appearance in the Married Women's Court yesterday to ask for a separation. She had quite a few complaints to make against her hubby, Kenneth Rupert Hillbrick. She told the SM that Ken boozed too much and far too often, and that everywhere he went he carried a flask of liquor with him and "kept sipping all the time". Drink, she said, upset her marriage after the first few months. "when he drank he was very cruel," she told the SM. "He threatened to disfigure me with a knife" "He used to grab me by the throat and threaten to throttle me." Ken Hillbrick didn't appear in court. Evelyn Hillbrick was granted a separation.

GOLD STEALING
ARREST AT BENDIGO.
Percival John Hillbrick, aged 32, a miner, residing in Nettle-street, New Chum, has been arrested on a charge of having been found in possession of gold
for which he had failed to satisfactorily explain to the police. A second charge of having stolen the gold from the Goldfields Consolidated mines was preferred against him. Accused, who is a married man, took an active part in the movement some months back, when all the employees at the mine took a pledge to the effect that they would loyally stand by the company and use all their efforts to prevent gold stealing. He was steward at the mine for the Miners' Association. Hillbrick was seen by Sergeant McKennan and Constable Baysher to enter the coffee palace with another man, named Robert Mason, assayer of Castlemain, who had engaged a room at the hotel under the name of Knox. When the police followed them into the coffee palace they were searched, and on Mason was found the sum of £85 in sovereigns and in Hillbrick's possession was found about 1½ oz. of retorted gold, which he informed the sergeant he had picked up at various times in the streets, mostly about New Chum. Under the bed in Mason's room was found a pair of gold scales, but he denied any knowledge of them. After Hillbrick had been locked up, his house was searched, and the sergeant discovered a dolly and fryingpan which had evidently recently been used for treating gold. An additional charge of being in possession of implements for treating gold which had not been registered was entered against Hillbrick. Mason was allowed to go, but, acting under instructions from Superintendent Sainsbury, Sergeant McKenna retained the £85 until he has consulted
the Attorney-General in regard to the matter.

A BIRTHDAY PARTY.

Green Lea, Roadside Mail, Bruce Rock
Dear Aunt Mary,-Thank you very much for the pretty birthday card. I had a party on my birthday. I invited some school friends and their parents; there were also same friends of mother's. Altogether we numbered ten, so you see we were a happy family for that afternoon. I received some very nice presents from different friends. I am sending in some puzzles which 1 have solved. I am sorry that I am late with them, but I never have time lately for I have have to do some lessons at home every night as I am working hard to win a scholarship. I don't know whether I'll win it or not, but I hope I do. Both at school and at home the seeds in my garden are coming up. At home I have helped mother to put in some vegetable seeds which are coming up. Some peas which I put in just after the first rains have nice big leaves on them, and some radishes are also growing quickly. The turnips, lettuces, beetroot and parsnips are growing more slowly. I will close now, as I can't think of any more news. I remain your loving niece,

ROSEMARY MCCONNELL.

You must have had an enjoyable party on your birthday, Rosemary.-AUNT MARY.
