Mr. Claud Mullins, the Magie- trate at the London Sruth- Western Police Court, who in- stituted special matrimonial hearings, put forward some) novel proposals for the improve- ment of the procedure in auch cases generally, when he ad- dressed the Conference on Men- tal Health in the Central Hall, Westminster,

Most striking are the new French singlo-seater ilghters, of which there are several types with top speeds of over 200 m.p.h. Design guros, drawings and photographs of somo

"In my opinian," said Mr. Mullins, "plenty of women have got away with well-rehearsed and exaggerated tales, simply because the methods of hearing their cases are such that their husbands have not adequately defended themselves. usually faults on both sides, and much coaxing and sympathy are necessary before the court can get

But this, roform will be much easier, and will be more acceptable of ecclesiastical opinion if alongside it comes the transfer of "poor persons" divorces magia- trates' courts so that applicants for divorce can benefit from our social

"I believe that plenty of such divorces could be prevented if magis trates' courts could handle them-in the way that separation cases handled at the Bouth Western Court.

"I do not recommend that magis trates' courts should grant decrees of divorce, at least not yet, but I do recommend that the cases of "poor persons" should begin with us. that we should hear and récord the evi- dence, make provisional orders, and then send all the written record to
