DIVORCE LAW.
« LORD ALVERBTONE'S VIEWS. liy Telecraph-Press Association—CopyriKht London, June 2. Tho Lord Chief Justice (Lord Alverstone), testifying before the Divorce Commission, objecte-:', to giving jurisdiction to County Cou;ls or any other inferior Court. Tho difficulty experienced by the poor in getting divorces might be met by the State paying the expenses; as was done in criminal cases. He considered the husband and wife should have equal grounds for divorce, and that permanent lunacy ought to be a sufficient justification for granting a decree. The wife should have an equal remedy with the husband, but tho power or duty to forgive ought to be more easy to the wife than to the husband.
