Minor and PupilCustody of Infant ChildWife in desertion.

A wife having left her husband, taking the infant son of the marriage with her, the husband presented a petition for custody of the child. The wife lodged answers in which she made a general averment of cruelty against her husband, and stated that she was about to raise an action of separation. At the date of the hearing the child was ten months old, and the wife had not raised an action of separation, although three months had elapsed from the date when her answers were lodged.

The Court granted the husband's petition for custody.

Alexander Fotheringham Rintoul, Jedburgh, presented a petition craving the Court to find him entitled to the custody of his child, Richard Rintoul, and to ordain his wife, Margaret Johnston Wood or Rintoul, to deliver the child to him, or to those having his authority, the child to remain in his custody; or otherwise, to find that the petitioner is entitled to free access to the child at all reasonable times.

The petitioner stated:He had been married in February 1897, and the child had been born on 29th December 1897. He had always treated his wife with kindness. She had deserted him twice without reason, and he had received her back and given her everything she desired for herself and her child. She had deserted him a third time in June 1898, and had gone to live with her father. She had sent away the child two days before her desertion. He had urged her to return, but she had refused.

Mrs Rintoul lodged answers on 21st July 1898. She admitted that she had left her husband on the occasions mentioned, and that she refused to return or part with the child, but stated that she had left the petitioner, on account of his cruel treatment of her. She cannot safely return to him, and is about to raise an action of separation and aliment against him. He is very much given to drink, and is very unkind to her both when drunk and sober. He uses very bad language. He is quite unfit to be the custodier of the child It is only six months old.

Argued for the petitioner;The answers were irrelevant. There was no relevant averment of cruelty on the part of the petitioner, and no facts were averred shewing him to be unfit to be the custodier of the child. She had had ample time to raise her threatened action of separation, and had not done so. The wife must, therefore, be held to be in...
