QUESTION OF DEFORCE COURT PROCEDURE.
Pointed remarks on the subject of corroborative evidence in divorce cases were made in the Divorce Court yesterday by Mr. Justice Hosking, after a witness had said in evidence that the respondent, a wife, had not lived with the petitioner for a certain period, as proof of desertion. . „ "I don’t see. the logical connection, said Bis Honour.

"His Honour the Chief Justice insists on corroborative evidence,” said the counsel for the pe.Hti.mer. "He rays it is necessary. ...
