THE ROYAL COMMISSION

EVIDENCE OF THE LORD CHIEF JUSTICE.

[press association.] LONDON, June 1. The Lord Chief Justice (Lord Alverstone), giving evidence before the Divorce Commission, objected to eivin"- jurisdiction to County Courts or any inferior court. The difficulty eperienced by the poor in obtaining divorces might be met by the btate s paying epenses, as was done in criminal cases. He considered the husband and wife should have equal grounds of divorce. Permanent lunacy ought to be sufficient justification.
