The Earl of ST. GERMANS suggested the insertion of •
clause providing that so action for damages should be
brought unless the divorce court to be constituted by the
bill had pronounced a divorce a eineselo.
Lord LYNDHURST said he was unwilling to insert any
clause which might reader the passing of the bill doubtful.

This past MOW writer St Augustine weighed the wi-

But, though he bad felt booed to make that honest confes-
sion of hls opinion, be thought thi re were other ooresidera-
dons which should be dully weighed by their lordships before
they Teetered to say that, if It were lawful to diesolve mar-
riage for adultery, it mast be expedient to give facilities for
dissolving it. In all such oases' it was not enough mealy to
show that • man had a right to do ao aed so. The gawks
was whether they had reams to believe that, on the whole,
the moral interests of the winos would be promoted by
providing the pp»roposed facilities for obtaining a divan. ;
sot whether abtnctedly, and es a point of divinity, they
had a right to maks snob an alteration. If the new law was
to be brought within the reach of the poorer classes, the
courts by whom it was to be administered must be marts
which could afford to give what was called cheap retirees,

it would be impossible to prevent the spread of that
master-evil in sash asses, oollesioa, which would by de-
grees up the morality of married life among the lower claws.
Oa the other bend, if the law wore not brought within the
reach of the lowest else. of society, the grimmest desatisfac-
ties 'staid peeve& (Hear, beer.) Moreover, he thought
that if diverse In gams of adultery were viewed es a

that they would be utterly absadomd if they were guilty
of iefidelity after warring*. (Hoer, hear.) He feared that
