The Divorce judges e mbined on July 24 in a race against time to clear off the day's quota of undefended divorce suite, says a London message of that date. The ex-Lord Chancellor, Lord Buckmaster. started to lend a hand to wipe off the arrears o1 500 cases, doing 212 cases in a week, which would before the war have been considered a whole term's allowance of undefended anite. Lord Buck master touched an average of three minutes per suit. He tackled a list of sixty cases, but as he fell behind the schedule. Justice Sir Arthur Balter took off fifteen cases before lunch. Justice. Bir Thomas Horridge, the regular judge, had finished his allotment of thirty-five, while Lord Buckmaster had done only thirty so the former took another six from Lord Bnokmaster. With two hours to go, twelve cases remained, but a great paired effort sucos ded in clearing them on time.
