COUNTESS GRANTED DIVORCE
LADY FROM NEW ZEALAND. By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. London, Nov. 22. The Countess of Hardwicke, formerly Nellie Russell, a New Zealander, obtained a decree nisi on an undefended divorce petition on the grounds of the Earl of Hardwicke’s misconduct. The marriage took place in London in 1911. The only child was a girl, now 14. The husband began to associate with other women in war time, for which the petitioner forgave him. In consequence of his behaviour she left him in 1920. The Earl suggested a separation, admitting that he alone was responsible for the trouble. The petitioner tried to induce her husband to return, hoping that he would reform. The Earl did not return and was found to have stayed recently with a woman in a London hotel.
