Curious Divorce Problem.
4 The Court of Appeal concluded the hearing of an appeal by Mrs. Elias Holland from a judgment of. Mr. Justice Hill in the Divorce Division rescinding a decree, nisi which she had obtained for the dissolution of her marriage with Percy Holland. Mr. T. Cox Mesch said that in 1911 Mr. and Mrs. Holland saparated, and since then the latter had lived with her mother and stepfather at a farm in Herefordabire. On June 8, 1916, Mre, Holland obtained a decree nisi. On the same day-about half-an-hour after leaving the court—she gave birth to a child of which James Orges, the son of her stepfather, was admittedly the "father. The King's Proctor intervened, and Mr. Justice Hill rescinded the decree, remarking that nothing in the busband's conduct had excnsed Mrs. Holland's miscon- duot. Mr. Meech stated that Jamoa Orges was willing to marry Mrs. Holland if the decren was made absolute, and urged in the interests of public morality that the discretion of the Court should be exercised in favour of the petitioner. Judgment was post- poned..
-or
Baronet Divorced, In the Divoros Court yesterday Lady Dorothy, Kennard obtained a decree nisi for the dissolution of her marriage on the ground of the desertion and misconduct of her husband, Bir Coleridge Arthur Fitzroy Kennard. There was no defence. The petitioner and respondeat were married at Teheran, Persia, in April, 1911. At Christmas, 1914, while in England, petition- exid she noticed that her husband's manner towards her had changed. He appeared to have formed an attachment for another lady, an actress, with whom he stayed while on a motor tour in Devon and Cornwall in 1915. Then he left his wife and took two
in separate fits Albemarle-street: London-one for himself and the other for 4be lady. Later he admitted misconduct, and wrote peti- tioner ia Jaly, 1916: The last 24 hours have brought things to the breaking point, and I cennnot see you. In the past you read letters of mine. but I could not have guessed you were going to have me tracked, followed, and spied upon. It is letter we should say good-bye and part now for good. I am of no use to you, and can never see you again. Blot me out of your life forget me and forgive. Good. bye. Roy. Evidence was called, and a decree granted, with coste and custody of the children of the marriage,
