DIVORCH LAY REFORM,
PLEA FOR EQUAL TREATMENT OF THE SIXES.
With regard to the important judgment of Sir Gorell Barnes, the President of the Divorce, Division, as to the reform of the divorce laws (writes a legal correspondent), there is no doubt, that it raises a question of the deepest importance to the State and family; and, emanating from a judge who has been angagad. in trying matrimonial causer since 1892, it can- not but have great weight.
When the Divorce Bill of 1857 was before Parliament, Mr. Gladstone strenuously opposed the measure in the first instance; but, later on, when the bill was in committee, he strongly fought for ad amendment giving the wife the same facilities of obtaining a divorce as the.. measure secured to the husband. His efforts, however, were unsuccessful. Wives have *. perfectly legitimate grievance in so far as hue- bands are granted privileges to which, were the elementary principios of equity to obtain, wives
are equally entitled.
MR. GLADSTONE'S VIEW, Mr. Gladstone, in his criticism of the bill of 1857, put the point very clearly. He said:
It has placed the marded woman in a post. tion of legal inequality, by requiring the woman to prove two breaches of the moral law against her husband, while one breach of the moral. law suffices as against the wife, implying that what is punishable in the man is not a breach of contract only as between equials, but t treatment of a dependent, while on the woman [608it inflicts panishment for breach of contract only; yet in the presence of Divine Law the sin is equal on either side.
No Fire Insurance has been effected.

NOTICE TO CONSIGNEES,
The working of that Act has proved the law to be, as the President pointed out, "full of inconsistencies, anomalies, and inequalities, almost amounting to absurdities One of the "Absurdities" brought about an amendment of the law in 1334, known to lawyers as "The Weldon Relief Act," by which non-compliance with an order for restitution of conjugal rights constituted desertion (thus avoiding a charge of cruelty), and thousands of petitioners have taken advantage of that step in the right direc tion to enable them to get divorced. Then in 1895 followed the Summary Jurisdiction (Married Women) Act, which has just been so mercilessly treated by Sir Gorell Barnes, who is of opinion that "permanent separation with. out divorce has a distinct tendency to en- courage immorality,"
WANTED, A UNIFORM CODE. All civilised nations should arrive at one uniform code of laws, not only as to marriage, but of divorce. To make divorce an' simple a matter as getting married would never do, Upon that almost everyone is agreed. But there are a great many people who think that, when a man and a woman have tried to live
happily together and utterly failed, they should not be bound together against their wills for the term of their natural life.
No good purpose can be served by forcing a man to pass his life with an incurably [64 drunken woman,, or a woman, to remain in
subjection to a brutal ruffian who habitually. ill-treats her. To give relief in such cases, of even in cases of confirmed "incompatibility of temper," would not make marriago lers sacred, but more.

A sagacious provian in the admirablo body of laws which France ower Napoleon is that the condemnation of either party to ignomis ious punishment for crime shall be accepted as a ground for divorce. This opinion is shred by Sir George Lewis, the eminent divorce soliciter, and by many other right-thinking men and women.

Marriage is a partnership may differ from other partnerships, but in other respects it is essential for happiness that it should be made or unmade with something of freedom and airaightforwardness that charac terises the other important contracts that human beings enter into one with another. Surely, when all the intrinsic value of a marriage is destroyed, it is only just that the innocent victim of misfortune should be allowed to apply for a release from such matrimonial bonds.
