Needed Elucidation.
The other day, at tbo trial of a divorce case, the parties to which were a nobleman of advanced years and his young wife, the judge remarked that this was another instance of the evil t fleets of " marriages contracted between May and December." Shortly afterwards the learned judge received a letter from the secretary of a Scotch statistical society, iutirnating that that body would be obliged if he would favour them with an account of the facts from which he derived the singul&r rule enunciated by him as to the inff licity of marriages rolemnised during certain months of thoyear, and adding that some of the members wished to uti'ise the information which might thus be afforded them in the shape of a paper to be read before the society, with a view to public discussion.
