Family Funds On Trip
Prom Our Own Correspondent
Suva, May 17
IN April, a young Indian couple—he handsome, unemployed and penniless, and she living with her parents be cause of her unwillingness to return to the husband of her parents’ choice — eloped from Suva to Lautokaj. They prudently took along the family funds, the young woman having access to the key of the money-box.
Her father went to Court about it and the magistrate, after hearing a great deal of evidence, said: “This case is too plain.”
The romantic pair have to return the amount claimed (£42) and find £6/167costs.
Mr. Ken Nicholson, a member of Fiji’s wartime RAF contingent, returned to Suva in May with his wife. He recently completed a course in the United King dom in flying control, and has been posted to the airports of Laucala Bay and Nausori as a control officer.
