Knight of Sir Galahad and a London Divorce Case Scandal
A long, mangled extract reports a February Divorce Court case in London concerning Hugh Lawrence Ames aged 45 accused of feloniously marrying Flora Matilde Wilson while his wife Kate Ames was alive. It notes Ames’s claimed Idaho divorce from Kate and subsequent London life with Flora, plus affiliations with the Society of the Golden Key and the Knight of Sir Galahad. The text also veers into political commentary about press gag clauses and government power, referencing New Zealand debates and gag laws, with assorted names and parties.
