with the proviso that the decree to that effect shall not
be pronounced if the petitioner has been guilty of adul.
tery or unreasonable delay in presenting the petition,
or of having deserted the other party, " without reason•
able excuse," before the act of adultery complained of,
or of wilful neglect or misconduct conducing to the
adultery. Alimony might be awarded to wives, even in
the event of the marriage being thus dissolved. Husbands
may c!aim damages from, adulterers if they please, and
such claims will be heard and tried on the same princi-
ples, in the same manner, and subject to the same
rules and regulations as actions for trim. con., the
damages being determinable by the verdict of a jury.
Adulterers, made co-respondents, may be mulcted in
the whole of the costs. The custody of children will be
provided for by interim orders of the Court of Divorce.
Questions of fact may be tried before the court by the
verdict of a jury, special or common, and the court may
direct issues to try matters of fact in any court of com-
mon law. A number of clauses refer to the mode and
forms of procedure before the court. All witnesses
will be sworn and examined orally in open court,
where their attendance can be secured. An appeal
will lie from the decisions of the Judge Ordinary
(in cases where he is authorised to decide al.rne)
to the full court, arid an appeal from decrees
dissolving marriages will lie from the Court of
Divorce to the House of Lords (within three months).
Clause 55 enacts that after the lapse of this period
allowed for appeal, and supposing the decree of disso-
lution to stand fast, "it shall be lawful for the respec-
tive parties to the marriage to marry again, as if the
prior marriage had been dissolved by death," provided
that " no clergyman in holy orders of the -United Church
of England and Ireland shall be compelled to solemnise
the marriage of any person whose former marriage may
have been dissolved onthe ground of his or her adultery,
or be liable to any suit, penalty, or censure for solemnising
or refusing to solemnise the marriage of any such per.
eon." The following clause, however (56), provides that,
although a minister may refuse to solemnise such mar-
riage himself, he must, nevertheless, permit any other
minister of the establishment, officiating in the diocess,
to perform the marriage service i❑ the parochial church
or chapel. Clause 57 terminates the scandal of actions
for mint, con. The fees under this bill will be
collected by stamps, to be "stamp duties" under the
management of the Inland Revenue Department. Clause
62 secures compensation to proctors in the Ecclesiastical
Court two years hence, at the hands of the Treasury ;
the compensation to be calculated on a comparison, in
each case, of the average clear gains of the three years
before the passing of the act, and the two years succeed.
ing. The oompensation will, ifgranted, be a life annuity,
such annuity in no case to exceed one moiety of the an-
nual loss ascertained as aforesaid. The salary of the
judge of the Court of Probate, if be be appointed judge
ordinary of the new Court of Divorce (as is professed),
will be 5,0001. a year; but such judge, if afterwards
appointed judge of the Court of Admiralty, will be en-
titled to an increase of salary. The rules of procedure
and a yearly account of fees, &c., are to be laid before
Parliament. And now, like the committee of the House
of Commons, we have exhausted the clauses of the Di-
vorce and Matrimonial Causes Bill, which may be ex-
pected in the course of a few days to become an Act of
Parliament, and, as such, part of the statute law of the
land.
