ed suits, over 100 defended suits, and
a handful of common jury suits which were down for hearing at the begin-| ning of Hilary. He will now have made an inroad into another couple of hundred from the supplemental list, and taking into account causes removed from the reserve list and specially entered cases since the original, list was printed, the divorce clearing" for the term will repre- sent the record figure for a single Judge of little less than a thousand
cases.
The high Divorce Bill is another result of the war--and legal prophets predict it will assume enormous dimensions as men become freer to examine affairs at home.
When the war started there was no very noticeable increase, but the Last Michaelinas sittings and the Hilary sittings show astounding and record increases, especially in the suits in the undefended lists, In the Michaelmas term 1914 the total of 389 cases set down for trial included no more than 265 undefended suits, 71 defended, and 53 common jury.

den of work for the officials who have to grapple with them.
Mr. Justice Coleridge, in his Easter rest week, has the knowledge that there are another 700 undefended cases to begin the Easter sittings with, to say nothing of a heavy defended load of matrimonial suits.
The Navy and Army are represent ed in the figures of the Eternal Triangle, and how the Poor Persons' Rules have supplied facilities for cheaper divorce and an easier road to freedom is now pretty well-known.
Mr. Adrian Hassard-Short, the secretary of this department, says there is an increasingly heavy tax on his resources in meeting the demands of applicants. The department is be coming more popular the more wide. ly it is known. In 1914, the year the Poor Persons Rules were intro- Iduced, applications came in with a' rush, as many as 2,533 being made; in 1915 there was a drop to 1,387, in | 1916 an advance to 1,532, and in
1917 a rise to 3,033.
At the end of 1918 Mr. Hassard- Shorts's ledger showed a record bound to 4,429. And 1919 is going to top everything, for already be has received 2,421 applications for aid under the Poor Persons' Rules, made up a follows:
Jan. Feb. Mar. April (to date). 727 652 683 359
And still they come. The applica. tions do not all refer to divorce, but most of them do, and it is here that the burden of work is felt.
