THE CHEYLESMORE CASE

CONDITIONS OF LIFE IN CANADA (Rec. December 2, 8.20 p.tn.) London, December 1. In the Cheylesmore divorce case, Lord Cheylesinore gave evidence that he first met his wife through a friend. He. telephoned and her to tea. They had not met Lord Cheylesmore sought to show that owing to the conditions of life in Canada his wife's mind was weakened. She also became much under the influence of her mother. He described the house in which they lived as a good bungalow— as good as anything out West. He had. chosen Canada ,aa his future home, and was returning there immediately. Counsel quoted from a letter written by Lord Cheylesmore to a friend in England, saying: “Life with her was impossible. Sooner or later there was bound to be a smash.” (Rec. December 2, 10.45 p.m.j London, December 1. A remarkable feature of the evidence of Lord .Cheyiesmore's mother was a statement to the effect that she had heard of a plot, in which the wife was involved, to produce a child by someone else, because she could not have one by her husband. She had never taxed the wife with this, though the witness had grounds for believing it. Witness denied that she interfered between her son and daughter-in-law, but was always, kind and considerate to the wife. The hearing was adjourned.
