Tale of TMo WIVES.

A very knotty nuptial problem Is
awaiting solution at Yarmouth, Eng
land.
Two wives have there revealed
themselves as claimants 10 the estate
of recently deceased tradesman.
This gentleman, who may be regard
ed as fortunate or otherwise, accord
ing 10 ones point of view. was Will
lam Christmas He traded all his life
as butcher at kink street, and died
when just a year or two short of 10
years Of age.
He left n widow in Elizabeth Christ
mas. who had live with him for about
80 years. and "A grown-up son born of
their marriage. This lady points To her
marriage lines, In which she Is describ-
ed as Il widow, her former surname
haying been Rouse. on this same
document the late AIR. Christmas is de-
scribed rs widower. and this fact
now becomes of great importance.
On the death of her husband Mrs.
Elizabeth Christmas ana her son con-
tinucd the business at the same prem
ises. Mrs. Christmas instructed her
solicitor, A. Cloves, to apply for let
ters of administration In the absence
OF Will, and the usual steps were
taken.
At this point come the startling rev
citation that there was another wife in
existence During the probate pre-
liminarics W. Joseph. another Var
mouth solicitor, sprang mine upon
his legal brother by claiming the estate
far,,AlrS, Marie Harriet Christmas
who, he averred, was the lawful wife
of the deceased butcher.
As each lady had a marriage certl-
ticate the probate proceedings were
temporarily abandoned, and sum
mons taken out for hearing in the
County court 10 determined which OF
the fair ladies was legally entitled to
the late Mr.. Christmas savings, prem
iscs. business and effects.
AS Mrs Elizabeth Christmas and her
son are now in possession Mrs. Maria
Harriet Christmas has put the law in
motion to protect her interests, and
her first move has been successful. as
she induced Judge Wilmot at Var
mouth County court to appoint a re-
ceiyer of the disputed estate until the
trial of the action to decide between
the rivals
Mrs. Maria Harriet Christmas has
been lost sight of ever since the year
Of her marriage 1SGOl. but it has been
asccrtaned she has been living mean
while at South Shields.
The explanation assigned for the
fact of the double marriage and two
certificates Is that Mrs Maria Harriet
Christmas was Mr.. Christmas first
wife, but that only few weeks
elapsed before a separations enSued.
Mr.. Christmas waited yainly for
years for his vanished spouse. and
then believing he was II gay young
widower heart whole ana fancy free,
wOocd and welded for second time,
on this occasion taking the widow OF
a Mr.. Rouse to share the joys of his
domestic hearth.
The puzzle of the legal tribunal is,
does his first marriage stand? If 1t
does. can his first wife-haying dis
appeared for 30 ycarS-come in now
and claim his belongings?
