A MARITAL MISTAKE.
THH RUSSELL SUIT. Times and Sydney Sun Services. London, July 14. Countess Russell has been granted a decree for the restitution of conjugal rights. Her husband wrote saying that he would not live with her again. She declined to take the letter seriously, and replied: "I regard your action as a form of self-denial. You left on Ash Wednesday, at the beginning of Lent. I would really advise you to try a milder form of abstinence, like the boy w:io determined to givo up soap during Lent." Earl Russell did not defend the case and the Countess was successful in her •laim. Lord Russell is the grandson of Lord John Russell, who was Prime Minister from 1848-52 and 1-865-60, and is 49 years of age. He has not been very fortunate in his matrimonial experiences. He was divorced from his first wife, and, contracting a second marriage in America before legally permitted to do so, was tried for bigamy by the House of Lords and sent to prison. It is this second wife from whom he has now parted.
