tezy 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 is
the event of the marriage being thus dissolved. Husbands
may claim 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 is
the whole of the costs. The custody of children will be
provided for by interim orders of the Court of Divorce.
Questions of fact m,ay be tried before the court by the
verdict of a jury, spacial or common, and the court may
direct issues to try matters of fact in any court of coin.

dissolving marriages will lie from the Court of
Divorce to the House of Lords (within three month,).
Clause 55 enacts that after the lapse of this period
allowed for appeal, and supposing the decree of disso-
lution to stand fast, "it shalt be lawful for the respec-
tive parties to-the marriage to marry again, as if the
prior marriage bad 'been dissolved by death," provided
that " no clergyman in holy orders of the United Churcla
of England and Ireland shall be compelled to solemnize
the marriage of any person whose fornetr marriage may
have been dissolved on,the 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.
son." The following clause, however (56), provides that,
although a minister may refuse to solemnise such mar-
riage himself, he musr, nevertheless, permit any other
minister of the establishment, officiating in the diocese,
to perform the marriage service in the
-parochial church
or chapel. Cause 57 terminates the scandal of actions
for trim. 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 bands of the Treasury;
the compensation to be calculated on a comparison, ire
each case, of the average clear gains of the three years,
before the passing of the act, and the two years succeed.
ing. The compensation will, if granted, be a life annuity,
such annuity in no cage to exceed one moiety of the an•
nual loss ascertained 'aseaforesaid. The salary of the
judge of the Court of Probate if he be appointed judge
ordinary of the new Court of Divorce (as is professed);
will be 5,000/. 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 6f procedure
and a yearly account of fees, ste., 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.
