When George Morris and Flora Morris
were man and wife they acquired consider
able unpleasant notoriety by their frequent
rows. On several instances their domestic
troubles assumed a sensational nature, as
the principal object of their strife after they
failed to live tremendously was the possess
sion OF their little boy. After a bitterly
contested fight Flora obtained divorce
from George on the ground of cruelty. but
the child was awarded to the father much
to the disappointment Of the mother. For
several months past, the divorced couple
did not do anything to bring them before
the pubic, but once more they are fighting,
ana the llttle boy is the cause. A few days
ago the father had occasion to chastise his
son Tor throwing rocks at another boy, aud
administered beating 10 MIN. This reached
the ears vi the mother, who has been watch
ing for an opportunity on which to base an
attempt to get the custody Of the child away
from the father, and she filed a mplaint,
charging him with battery. The case will
come up Tor hearing some day this week be-
fore Justice Sweasey of the West End.
Recorder UZhay has sentenced Charles

with gratitude. VINO can say that an act of
kindness is not often appreciated by the
most depraved.
By this time the little girls were willing
to tell their stories. They were found wan

they could not give very satisfactory ex-

in. No charge was placed against them,
and from the Seventeenth-street Station
they were sent to the City Prison and turned
over to the matrnn.

The resignation of Captain Shaw from

This is not strange The English income
tax law is strict. Under it six months
stay in England constitutes a residence, and
for residents in England the income tax Of
pence in the pound. or very nearly cents
to be accurate, $50 per CENTS levied
for and in respect of the annual profits or
gains arising or accruiug TO any person re-
siding in tine United Kingdom fro IN any
kind of property whatever, whether situ-
ated in the United Kingdom or elsewhere"
Three years ago Justice Stephens, whose
knowIed2e of the law no one wouli be likely
to diSpute. held that the profits of a bust
ness in Melbourne not yet paid over to a
partner resident" in London must be
deemed a portion of his partner income
for the year The Master of the Rolls re-
versed this decision, but on the express
ground that Parliament could not have NJ
tended to levy tax upon an income belong
ing 10 person temporarily IN England
Though nothing was received from 1t in
this country" Lord Justice Lopez filed
an additional opinion, dwelling upon
the fact that the income in question
was never transmitted to nor re-
ceiyed in this country" that is En-
gland, as the sole reason for deeming 1t
Tree Of income tax Lord Justice Fry, on
the other hand, flied dissenting opinion
that the plain meaning Of the act Of Parlia-
ment showed that aay and all income, waere-
ever earned and whether paid over or mott in
England, must pay income tax II It's owner
was residing In England.
The inference from these decisions is that
all income received in England by a man re-
siding there over six months, and therefore
possessing a legal residence, is liable to an
income tax. As to other porllo J. 81 his in
