DIVORCE COMMISSION
EFFECT OF AUSTRALIAN FACILI TIES.
By Cable —Press Association—Copyr-ight.
London, December 13
Bishop Carr Smith, giving evidence before the Divorce Commission, said that as far as Australia was concerned no hardship was imposed on poor people who wished to procure divorce. He considered the decline in the birth-rate was largely attributable to the facilities for divorce.
DIVORCE AMONG THE WEALTHY.
BIGGER PENALTIES ADVOCATED.
Received 14, 10.40 p.m. London, December 14.
Sir E. Carson, giving evidence before the Divorce Commission, said it would be a great mistake to increase the divorce facilities. Damages awarded were often entirely inadequate. A wealthy man with an income of £20,000 per annum should be mulcted in £IOO,OOO. It was unreasonable that a guilty husband should be left in possession of the greater part of his income.
