medium OF . matrimonial agency. In
England such transactions are fortunately
rare, and 10 il to be hoped that the pub
licity given to tho case Of Clark vs.. Grid
wood and Clark will tend TO make them
rsrer still. Mrs. Clark. the plaintiff, who
IL sued by her brother and prsehaia oMi.
Mr.. Taunton, 10 or was the widow OF Mr..
George. . solicitor In Monmouth, who. II
seems. died In 1871. leaving her with
seven children and an income of fivo to six
hundred pounds = year. For ten months or
thcreabouts, Mrs. George wore her widows
weeds with exemplary fidelity. She then
