DESERTED WIVES.
LAW fO APPLY TO EMPIRE. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received March 17, 8.33 p.m. London, March 16. The House of Lords carried the second reading of the Bill to facilitate the enforcement in the United Kingdom of maintenance orders made in the Dominions, and vice versa. The Bill applies to husbands and others liable who have gone to another part of the Empire either before or after a maintenance order is made. An order must be duly registered and confirmed in the country where the liable person is. All the Dominions, except some Canadian provinces, have accepted the principle of the Bill, and have undertaken reciprocal legislation. The Lord Chancellor, in moving the second reading, said the necessity for the Bill had been accentuated by the war. Lord Buckmaster said it was a long overdue instalment of the debt society owed to deserted wives.—lmperial Service. .
