LONDON, April 13.
“1. think that women mostly are to blame, as in most of the eases ol this kind,” said Mr Justice Hill, in granting Lieutenant Vernon Matthews, a decree nisi, and .C2OO damages on account of his wife’s misconduct with a fellow officer. Captain Thomas Grylls: Th> parlies met at Alexandria. 'The wife went to London later, and she was joined by Captain Grylls. Both of them went to New Zealand, where they are now residing. Air .Justice Hill remarked that the fact of the woman going off with another man proved that she was worthless. One was tempted, sometimes, to think that then* might be a counter-claim by the other man for having saved the husband from such a woman, but the law did not go <|uitc to that extent. Anyway it would not be true in this ease. Captain Grylls took all oi the blame, but that might .partly be gallantry.
