WOMAN TO BLAME
WIFE'S MISCONDUCT WITH FELLOW OFFICER JUDGE’S COMMENTS IN DIVORCE ACTION. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, April 13. “I think the woman is mostly to Maine, as she is in most of the cases of this kind.” said Mr Justice Hill in granting Lieutenant Vernon Mathews a decree nisi and £2OO damages for his wife’s misconduct with a fellow-officer, Captain Thomas Grylls. The parties met at Alexandria. The wife went to London later, and was joined by Grylls, and both wont to New Zealand, where they arc now residing. The judge remarked that the tact of a woman going off with another man proved that she was worthless. One was tempted sometimes to think there might be a counter-claim by the other man for having saved the husband from such a woman, but the law did not go quite to that extent. Anyway, it would not be true in this case. Grylls took all.the blame, but that might partly be gallantry.”—Australian Press Asso-ciation-United Service.
