| 6 |  | 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.

| 13 |  | 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. |

"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. |

| 26 |  | 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.

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. |
