JUDICIAL SEPARATION.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE PKEBS. Sir, —Permit mc to thank you for your courteous reference to my suggestion on the above subject in your leader of this morning. I should like to explain that lam not sufficiently vi>rsed in tho law to know whether anything further is needed in order to afford protection to those wives or husbands who are rich enough to appeal for it to the Supreme Court. That which has painfully struck mc in my work has been the fact that so many women are brutally illtreated by drunken husbands, and some men are tied to drunken and abandoned women, and that neither can get freedom or protection because of their want of means. The law gives them no remedy except by a costly Supreme Court process, which is absolutely out of their reach. In such cases justice should be cheap, and where needful free. It is this aspect of the case that has deemed to mc a fitting one for the representatives of labour to take up.—Yours, 4c, Frank W. Isitt. May 15th, 1893.
