DIVORCE CASE REPORTS.
CHURCHMEN'S VIEW,
(by cable—fkess association—copveioht.) (austbalian and n.z. cable association.) LONDON, May 4. The Linrer House of the Convocation of Canterbury unanimously adopted a resolution expressing the opinion that proper discretion had not been shown in recent years in the publication of the reports of divorce cases. If the common law was not adequate to enable the Public Prosecutor to. act, further legislation should be passed.
During the hearing of the Russell divorce case in London recently Mr Justice Hill remarked: it is a pity the newspapers pay so much attention to this or any other case. I cannot understand'why these cases axe published in the papers so, fully. It is greatly to be regretted. I wish they would leave us alone. It would be much better if these cases were put in ten lines a day. It would be quite sufficient. Sir Edward Marshall-Hall, K.C. (for petitioner)—l don't think anyone can calculate the amount of harm it does in the country, and the misery and pain it causes to both parties. His Lordship: Of course it does.
