DIVORCE PLOT
GAOL FOR PERJURY A divorce case at Draguignan, in the south of France, has resulted in five people being sent to prison for perjury. Mme. Sibille, wife of a local manufacturer, recently obtained a divorce decree against her husband. The husband appealed on the ground that his wife had stayed at an hotel at Cannes with another man. Mme. Sibille produced a medical certificate to the effect that on the date stated by her husband she was ill in bed, but the Appeal Court, basing its judgment on the production of an entry in the Cannes hotel register in the name of Mme. Sibille, reversed tho previous judgment and granted a decree to the husband. It has since transpired that the entry in the Cannes hotel register was made by Mme. Sibille’s father-in-law, who went there at his son’s instigation with another woman. M. Sibille and his father have now been sentenced for perjury to one year’s imprisonment, and alt other persons implicated in the affair have been given three months' imprisonment each.
