Notes New Zealand Herald, Volume LX, Issue 18551, 8 November 1923, Page 11: Report of a 'theatrical divorce' case in Sydney. The petitioner was Annie Lynton, formerly Lenon, (stage name Annie Hughes) and the respondent an actor, William Mayne Lynton. Mrs Lynton accused her husband of committing adultery with Nancye Stewart, an actress well known in Sydney, and the daughter of Nellie Stewart. The misconduct was alleged to take place between January 1922 and January 1923 at various places in Sydney, and during the month of January 1923 at 'Finchley', Cranbrook Road, Rose Bay. 'As a result of what I was told, I employed Mr. Jackson, a private detective, and. with him, I went to a cottage called Finchley,' Rose Bay. The windows were wide open. Mr. Jackson went inside. I followed. I saw my husband sitting in an armchair. He was wearing a dressing gown. Miss Nancye Stewart was there, too, in her night attire. They were both smoking and drinking. I knew Miss Stewart, as my husband had introduced me to her in America. I said to her. You are not Mrs. Mayne Lynton. Yon are Miss Nancye Stewart. You are living here with my husband.' Misa Stewart did not reply. Mr. Jackson then said, Are you Miss Nancye Stewart?' She replied, Yes.' He then said to my husband, Are you living here as man and wife?' He said, *Yes. We are quite open about it. There is the bed.'' Mr. Jackson then said, Your wife is suing for a divorce.' Mr. Lynton replied, All right. Go ahead.' We then left.' .
