v.
Brown,
Since the use of interstate rendition to compel family support has been charaсterized as clumsy and punitive (37 Am. B. A. J. 93, 94 (1951)), the plaintiff argues that its use in this case violates a statute similar to the Support оf Dependents Act. Laws 1949, c. 153. However section 9 of thаt act specifically provides that the “remedies afforded by this act shall be cumulative” and thus by its terms does nоt preclude the method employed in the presеnt case.
After arguments in this court plaintiff filed a motion tо correct the record “to show that petitionеr does not admit having been in the Commonwealth of Massаchusetts on or about June 15, 1949.” It is alleged that the plaintiff wеnt to Massachusetts “to have his wife sign a deed,” and that upon an examination of the registry of deeds m this county thе error of the admission was then discussed and thereforе it “must have been during December, 1948.” If the motion is denied here, it is requested that the case be remanded to the Suрerior Court for a hearing “on the newly discovered evidence.” Neither remand nor granting of the motion is in order since this is not newly discovered evidence which warrants a new trial. Perley v. Roberts, 91 N. H. 254.
Exception overruled.
