The decision is the most important ii; divorce law ever delivered. In connection with this report, a Chronicle representative interviewed Mr. George Hutchison, a well-known barrister, as lo whether the decision would apply in New Zealand. Mr. Hutchison expressed the opinion that as New Zealand lawwas based on English law, the ruling would hold good out here.
