Auswering further questions by the Archbis- -hop, Sir John said he did not believe in a man or a woman being chained to a lunatic, but this, and the question of what constituted habitual drunkenness as a ground, for divorce, must be left to the discretion of the tribunal, These things increased the burden thrown upon the discretionary powers of the coort, and made it more necessary that the causes should be tied at one centre, and not in 55 or 36 different tribunali, v

A STRONG OPINION,"
+
Si John Bigham; i have a strong opinion, which may shock some people, but misconduct 'ought not to deprive, except is serious cases, either the husband or the wife from getting
relief.
Ha did not think there should be a divorce for
fuacy, unless it occurred shortly after marriage, and was shown to be permanent. If a couple's carly manied life bad been passed in the ordinary way, the fact that, at the end of fifteen years, one of them became insane, oughs not to be a ground for divorce. Habitual drank erness be regarded as a species of Innacy.
· Mr. Rufus Isaacs: Suppose a woman estab. lubes that her husband leaves her, at limes and commits misconduct, not involving any indignity upon her, and she does not wish to continue to live with hér husband, is it right they should be kept together?
Sir John Bigham ......... it is. a question pl degres. The point YOU take is that a man is committing more or less continuous misconduct, and that the wife knows of it.. This would, in my opinion, justify asking for a divorce.
THE "WISE WIFE'S" COURSE. Suppose as a result of an isolated act a child was born, should that estiue the, wife to di. voice -No, not in the bald way you have pot
it. I do not think the fact that a child comes into the world should justify divorce. A wise wife, in my opinion, shats her eyes to her husband's mistakes.
In the case of the wife, any act of misconduct would entitle the husband to divorce ber?- Except an act which is conduced to, as it some- times is, by the misconduct of the husband...
That is in accordance with French law? I don't know about the Freuch law, but it is quila in accordance with my views'as to what is best for morals. But the misconduct must be either exceptional or of a slight character, 1'e would not give relief to a man who habit- ually lived in open macaoduci, bat, looking at it from the man's point of view, he did not think that, in the coor: of to pears life, if a man had coco made a‘alip"that that ought to take away his right to separate sentence of five years' penal servitude, it would
