DOW & HENCKEN (No.2)

In *Dow & Hencken (No.2)*, heard before Judge Henderson, the husband sought leave to cross-examine the wife. The precise nature of the underlying dispute leading to this application is not detailed, but it concerned a family law matter, specifically divorce proceedings.

The central legal issue before the court was whether the husband should be permitted to cross-examine the wife. This required the court to consider the circumstances under which such an examination would be granted, likely balancing the need for a fair hearing against potential prejudice or undue burden on the parties.

Judge Henderson refused the husband's application to cross-examine the wife. While the specific reasons for this refusal are not elaborated in the provided text, the decision indicates that the threshold for allowing cross-examination in this instance was not met. The court's order reflects a determination that the application was not warranted.
