Most Distinguished Gathering" in History MANY FAMOUS NAMES

IN DIVORCE

LISTS

FAMOUS people crowded into the Divorce Court in London last month to tell the Judges the stories of their shattered romances.

They helped make the divorce list at the Easter sit- tings, the most distinguished in history.

In five weeks, the five Judges were expected to solve the matrimonial tangles of 1,445 couples.

There will be little difficulty in 706 cases. For these will be undefended-none of the husbands and wives against whom actions are being brought will deny the allegations

The undefended list also included the petition of Captain David Margesson, Chief Government Whip and the "power behind the throne" in the Conservative Party.

Mrs. Frances Margesson is a wealthy American. They have been married about twenty-four years and have one son and two daughters..

Captain Margesson has been Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasury, and Chief Whip since 1931. He has been Conservativo Member for Rugby since 1924, before that representing the Upton division of West Ham.
