THE DIVORCE LAWS.
WOMEN ON JURIES.
{By Electric Telegbaph—Copyrights (Peb Press Association.) Received May 26, 10.5 a.m. LONDON, May 25.
Mr Cecil Chapman, a Magistrate, giving evidence before the Divorce Commission, advocated that six women should serve on juries in divorce cases. The Bishop of London, presiding at the London Diocesan Conference, said the church must oppose the extension to the poor of facilities which had proved a curse to the rich. If every County Court was turned into a Divorce Court it became a matter for discussion whether in time to come the civil authority would not conduct all marriages, leaving the blessing of the church to those only who accepted the church's rule.
