DIVORCE CASE.
FOURTH OCCASION. LONDON, Sunday. The "Daily Chronicle’s” Paris correspondent reports a strange divorce case between Count and Countess Bertier de Sauvignv. This is the fourth occasion on which the lady has figured in the Divorce Court. Originally she was Miss Georgina Moselams, and inherited eight millions sterling from her uncle, a Dutch oil magnate. She first married an English officer named Bernard, and was divorced. She then married Lord Sholto George Douglas, uncle of the Marquess of Queensbcrry. This marriage was dissolved, and she married a Turkish prince, the seventh son of the Sultan Abdul Hamid. She was a£ain divorced, and married Count Sauvigny eighteen months ago at a London registry office.
The Count and Countess quarrelled the day after the marriage, parted, and never met again. They have been divorced, but the Court states that it is incompetent to decide whether the Count 'is entitled to a half of his wife’s fortune, which is usually shared upon divorce. The Countess states that she will resist the claim.—Australian and N Z. Press Assn.
