CHEYLESMORE DIVORCE CASE
JUDGMENT RESERVED. (Rec. December 5, 5.5 p.m.) London. December 4. Lady Cheylesmore was greatly distressed and sobbed bitterly during a close examination. She said her husband and his brother had been dreadfully drunk even while their mother was' in Canada. The mother was never cross about anything they did. Both were spoilt. She quoted extracts from her husband’s diary: “Had a hectic evening. Much worse for wear. Home with two bottles of fizz and two of port. Very tight. Awfully sorry for Norah.”
Counsel in his address pointed out that somebody of Cheylesmore’s family had perpetrated a hostile act towards the wife, as far back as 1919, by sending to Tasmania for her birth certificate. Surely the mother-in-law must have struck the court as being a masterful woman, capable of being sweetly unkind; Judgment was reserved.
