JUDGMENT RESERVED
CHEYLESMORE DIVORCE CASE,
(United Press Association.—Copyright) LONDON, 4th December. Lady Cheylesmore was greatly distressed, and sobbed bitterly during a close examination. She said her husband and his brother had been dreadfully drunk even while their mother was in Canada. The mother was never cross about anything they did. Both wore spoilt; Sho quoted extracts from her husband's diary: "Had a hectic evening. Much worse for wear. Homo with two bottles of fizz and two of port. Very tight. Awfully sorry for Norah." Counsel, in his address, pointed out that somebody of Cheylesmore's family had perpetrated a hostile act towards the wife, as far back as 1919, by sending to Tasmania for her birth certificate. Surely tho mother-in-law must have struck tho Court as being a masterful woman, capable of being sweetly unkind. Judgment was reserved.
