Lady Bonhain Carter seconded the re- solation, and said that the Women's National Liberal Federation, of which she is an active member, had the courage to pass three times in succesion & measure hacking up the proposals of the Majority Report.

Sir John Cockburn, in supporting the resolution, said that the amendment of the Divorce Law was the necessary corollary to women's franchise.

Dame Belch Gwynne-Yaughan and Dr. Saireby also supported the resolution, which was carried with enthusiasm.
