DIVORCE CASE COMPLETED.
NECESSITY FOR FULL ETTDENXE
Further evidence having been given in the Supreme Court yesterday, the petition of Zelmar Iris Ross (Mr. Sullivan) for a divorce from Samuel George Ross, on the ground of misconduct, was granted by ilr. Justice Stringer.
A private inquiry agent said when be served the citation respondent admitted adultery with another woman. Petitioner said she had been living apart from her husband under an agreement. When her sister-in-law suggested to them that they should come together again her husband admitted misconduct.
His Honor, in granting a decree nisi to be made absolute in three months, said there was now quite sufficient light on the subject. His objection on the previous occasion was that a woman could not expect to get a divorce merely on what her husband had said in a quarrel when he was possibly influenced by liquor. He required such surrounding evidence as had been supplied by the d<vd of separation and the account of what happened! at the interview.
