The president, Sir Boyd Merriman, said that in spite of Mrs. Wilmer's deception of the Court he did not feel justified in rescinding the decree.

"This marriage," he continued, "has never been a marriage in any sense of the word, and there is not the slightest chance of it ever becoming one when this man comes out from the long term of penal servitude to which he has been sentenced.

"He had treated her in a most disgraceful way, and at one time had been brutal about her chiki. It would be a dreadful punishment to keep her tied to a man to whose hlatory I have alluded."
