DIVORCE EVIDENCE
INQUIRIES IN HOTELS LONDON, June 1. Mr Justice Bateson, in the Divorce Court, expressed disapproval of the system of certain London hotels in insisting upon charging two guineas or more before allowing divorce inquiries to be carried out on the premises. A solicitor, experienced in matrimonial cases, said: “.One hotel in which I had to make inquiries used to charge two guineas for an inspection of the register. Recently it raised the price to four guineas. The explanation was that they found the time of their staff almost continually taken up with inquiries, and even four guineas was insufficient to pay for the trouble involved.”
