Ho said that if he were at liberty to show disapprobation and to punish respondent for his former cruelly to his wife ho would have no hesitation in so doing: but that conduct had ceased, and there was no chance of its repetition. In ordering respondent to pay tho costs he said that, although tho facts in the case were not. sufficient to entitle petitioner to a judicial separation on tho ground ot cruelty, they were such as to entitle her to successfully defend a suit for the restoration of conjugal rights if brought, against her by her husband. [At the bearing of tho case counsel for the petitioner stated that respondent, claiming a Scriptural warrant, had regularly, from soon after the marriage, after stripping petitioner; laid her across his knees and chastised her with a heavy leather strap. Respondent appeared to practise religious rites before administering the floggings. He similarly chastised two girls, who were his wards, living in tho lionf-e. As a result of petitioner’s protests respondent ceased flogging her; hut he continued Hogging his wards, one of whom ran away to escape chasthcment.]
