CHEAPER DIVORCE
LONDON, May 25. Mr Cecil Chapman, a magistrate, giving evidence before the Divorce Commission, advocated six women serving on divorce juries. Dr Ingram (Bishop of London), presiding at the London Diocesan Conference, said the Church must oppose the extension to the poor of those facilities which had proved a curse to the rich. If every county court were turned into a divorce court it would be discussable whether the time had not, come for the civil authority to conduct all marriages, leaving the blessings of the Church to those accepting the Church's rule.
