MR. A. PLOWDEN AND DIVORCE.
ATTACK ON THE CLERGY,
622
Mr. A. Chiebele Plowden, the well- knowo metropolitan magistrate, spoke in characteristic rein en behalf of eanier divorce at a meeting of the Actresmed' Franchise. Lengue, hold at the Portman Hooms, to discuss the reform of the diverse law. He especially emphasised his belief' hat divorce was a social necessity like marriage itself."
Miss Gestrada Kingston, who presided, said that she was not in favour of, casy divorce, because there was an esorinors Eumber of men and women who, when they were at the beginning of the discovery of any unfaithfulness deception, felt that their foolinga sro catmaged, and in the Arst violent outburst decided to obtain a divorce. If divorcos were made a casily as they were in America a petitioner might, after getting a divorce in May, by July have found that he or she had made a 'mis- take and that it would dave been better to forgive.
Mr. Plowden, speaking on behalf of the Divorce Law Union, said marriage troubles lay thick in the homes of England. It was the saving feature of those troubles that of all the social ovils which aflicted the Stale they could-be cured ur, strall events, large- ly diminished by a single stroke of the pen. No feverish agitation was necessary, and no mammoth demonstration in Hyde Park --not even a singlo frail window pane neod be endangered. All that was required was faw penetrating lines in an Act of Paris- ment.

The life now grounds for divorco-RACOTE- mended by the majority report of the Royal Commission were to be the battleground of the future. It had to be a fight to a finish, and nothing could settle the question but o decisive victory. A Bill bad boon drafted by the union to carry out these proposals, and it would be inkl upon the table of the House by Sir David Brynmor Jones next Taesday. Was there anything, he asked, In the five new grounds for divorce which was not perfectly antic, sound, sopsible; and humane Be thought those things would have met with general acceptance, and there was one class which he, thoughh would have been, impressed with them, it would have boon the clergy, who, aimed at promoting happiness, raising the moral tond of the community, and Christianising degraded Homea. The clorgy opposed thes things bocanso the sanctity of the, tie forblide." Divares for drunkenness-"the sanctity of tba tie forbids: divorce for Insanity-the sanctity of the tie forbids." Ho wa Lot going to confound God with the clergy, but lastend of mying "theso whom God hath joined together let no man, put seunder" he would rather mythese whom God hath obviously consed to join together let no man knap together." --
