FREEMAN-MITFORD DIVORCE.
A CHILD BORN. Berlin, March 4. Baroness von Kuhlmann, formerly the wife of Captain Mitford, has given birth to a daughter.—(A. and N.Z.) A cable from London last week stated that the Hon. John Freeman-Mit-ford, brother Lord Redesdale, is asking the British Divorce Court to uphold a decree of nullity granted by. the German courts to the daughter and heiress of von Friedlanderfold, the German coal king, whom Mr. Free man-Mitford married in Germany early in 1914. Mr. Freeman-Mitford cites as co-respondent Richard von Cuhlmann, secretary of the German Embassy in London when war broke out, whom Mrs. Mitford married after obtaining the German decree. It was stated that German law permitted a nullity decree to a spouse who is mistaken with reference to the other spouse’s personal attributes. The respondent obtained the German decree a few months after her marriage on the ground that Mitford was addicted to masculine indolence and unbearable selfishness.
