Tho Salt Lake Tribune publishes
from the report of tho Grand Jury
which has just completed al inycs igu-
ton into the fraudulent divorce buiness
carried OH through the Probate Court
Of that city, n list of the names Of some
snits, together with those Of the legal
shystcrs who disgraccd their profession
by their nefnrOus practices.
These fraudulent divorces were OBJ.
tnined in favor Of parties scattered
through tho various States OF the
Union, and the places of abode OF the
aforesaid shysters nre as widely spread.
The msdHs opcrandi in procuring these
divorces. appears to have been so sim
pie rs to utterly ahnihilnte time, space,
circumstances or conditions, and to
entirely obviato tho necessity Of the
attendance of either Of the principals
to the suits, or witnesses, or Ike bother
Of producing proofs.
Tho original notes OF the committee
Of thc Grand Jary, now on file with
their report il the Third District
Court, show, iro:a Sept. 1. 1873, TO
Sept. /, 1875, that 81 divorces we're
granted; from Sept. !, 1875. to Sept. ], ,
1876, - divorces were granted; from
Sept. /, 1876, TO Sept. ], 1877, 3I3
divorces were granted; or that within
three ycnra the Salt Lake County Pro-
bate Court granted 5Ci divorces.
These decrrrs were obtained chiefly
through tho following divorce shystcrs:
