DEATH, DISHONOR, AND DIVORCE
y., Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, April 16. Tho decision of tho Divorce Court in the Kent case—in which Kent sought damages against a man for misconduct with Mrs Kent, since dead—was given in favor of the husband. The judge said it was not tho sort of claim many men would like to bring. Ho had never known such a claim to be brought before, but he had come to the conclusion that under common law an action for criminal conversation could bo maintained by a writ issued after the death of the wife. Ho could not think that because tiie course of Nature made service on the wife impossible, a suit against the co-respondent could not bo maintained.—A. and N.Z. Cable.
