RUSSIAN MARRIAGE
NOT RECOGNISED IN ENGLISH COURTS (“Times” Cables.) London, December 17. Mr. Justice Hill, in the Divorce Court, deciding a suit for judicial separation by Mrs. Nachimson, who was formerly a Russian actress and now resides in Surrey, ami who was married in Moscow in 1921 to a Russian mining engineer, gave judgment for the petitioner. The respondent was never married within the meaning of tbe English law. They were not husband and wife, and he did not possess jurisdiction. The parties must go to the Soviet Courts. He was fully conscious of the difficulties arising from his refusal to recognise Russian marriages, but the Soviet had created the difficulties.
