THE DIFFICULTIES OF THE POOR. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright London, June 1. Lord Chief Justice Alverstone, giving evidence before the Divorce Commission, objected to giving jurisdiction to County Courts or any inferior courts. The difficulty experienced by the poor in obtaining divorces might be met by the State paying expenses, as was done in criminal cases.

A wife shouid have equal remedy, but! the power and duty to forgive ought to be more easy to the wife than to the husband.
