NEW ZEALAND DIVORCES
Twenty-two decrees nisi, and nine decrees absolute, and three reserved judgments delivered in less than three and a^half hours, was the- achievement of a Judge of tho Supremo Court at Auckland this week (says an Auckland,, writer). His Honour, of course, was administering the law as he found it,1 being ,in duty bound to do no less. But the jaw permitting this to be" surely calls for a revision of proverbs. How would "Happy the divorcing that's not long a-doingw fit? Or " Divorce in haste and remarry at leisure"? Meantime, withoutany disrespect to the-Bench, it is a pleasing reflection in these times of economy that Judges are not paid at piece-work rates.
