Friendship Ends In Divorce Court

FOUR-SIDED matrimonial tangle which had its beginning when two married couples became friendly was unravelled by Mr. Justice Hodson, in the Divorce Court recently.

A husband and a wife charged their respective spouses with adultery and admitted that they had themselves committed mis- conduct with each other.

In the first case Mrs. Kathleen Day, living in Brixton Road, S.W., petitioned on the ground of the adultery of her husband, Mr. Walter Herbert Day, with Mrs. Gladys Evelyn Milne.

She asked that discretion should be exercised in her favour in respect of her own adultery with Mr. Andrew! Lindsay Milne.
