Divorce Judge's New Ruling
Months Not Test of Morals
WITHIN six months of receiving her decrce nisi, Mrs. Elsie Reeves, of Bonnersfield-lane, Harrow, Middlesex, committed misconduct.
She admitted it when' the King's. Proctor intervened in the Divorce Court. But Mr. Justice Bucknill ordered that the decree should
stand.
"The waiting period of six months between the granting of a decree nisi and the making of the absolute," he shid, "is in no way intended as a test of the morality of a petitioner.
For Inquiry
"The object of the six months in to enable the King's Proctor to make inquiry as to the bona fides of the case."
Mrs. Reeves, he said, married in 1926 when she was aged about 21.
In 1833 her husband left her to live with another woman.
There was no hope of a reconcilia
