MORE DIVORCES
STEADY INCREASE SHOWN IN ENGLAND.
(By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) LONDON, October 6.
Divorces in England are increasing steadily, says the “Daily Mail.” Five judges next week will begin the hearing of 2000 London applications, compared with 797 in the Michaelmas term last year. ' The Assizes throughout the country have a further 5000 for the term. Evacuation, shelter life and war time disorganisation are partly the reasons for the increase. The Courts in the first year of the war dealt with 8400 petitions. The monthly average dropped from September to last March, probably because of the bombings, but increased evacuation and the calling up of wives and husbands have now broken many happy families. /
