RECORD NUMBER OF DIVORCES
4,547 Last Year
More divorces were granted in England and Wales in 1933 than, any previous year, states the "Morning Post.”
The Civil Judicial Statistics, Issued recently, show that the number of decrees for dis- solution of marriage in the year was 4,547. compared with 4200 in 1934, 3.988 in 1933, and 3,825 in 1932. The decrees were granted on the petitions of 2.088 husbands and 2,459 wives.
The number of matrimonial petitions Aled in 1935 was 5,478, an increase of 432 on the 1934
figures. Matrimonial causes num- bering 1,999, of which 1197 were Poos Persons cares, were tried ab Assizes.
94,001 HIGH COURT ACTIONS The total of legal actions in the three divisions of the High Court, on the
other hana, showed a decrease of two per cent, and the number in the King's Bench was the lowest since 1930. The total for all divisions was 94 001, com- pared with 96,208 in 1934. in the Chancery Division there was a decrease of 2,330 to 82,501, and in the Probate, Divorce and' Ad- miralty Division there was an in- crease of 389 to 5,869.
Appeals to the House of Lords were 42. compared with 69 in 1934. but appeals set down in the Court of Appeal showed an increase of 47 to 629. the Increase being main- ly due to appeals from county courts.
The number of Poor" Persons" cases again increased, and over 90 per cent related to matrimonial proceedings.

The "bitter scorn and contempt which some novels pour upon marriage was criticised by the Bishop of Winchester (Dr. Cyril Garbett) at his Diocesan Con- ference recently. He also used strong, words about divorce.

PALPITATION NOT HEART DISEASE Doctor's Research Conclusions
Palpitation is rarely due to oz-
ganic disease of the heart itself. This is the conclusion reached by a woman doctor after a careful clinical and statistical study, the results of which are recorded in the current lasue of the "Lancet," states the "London Morning Föst":
A large number of patients were examined, including a group in whom palpitation was the main symptom-a series of 900 consecu- tive patients at the National Hos- pital for Diseases of the Heart, and a series of children ettanding three rheumatic supervisory centres
