The Christiancy Divorce Case.
OPINION OF JUDGE wyLIE As TO TAKING TEsTIHoN
OF TIE PLAINTIFFS SONS.

OF TEE PLAINTIFFS SONS.
To-day, in the Equity Court, Judge Wylie rem
dered his deci-ion the motion OF plaintiffs coun-
sci in the case OF ex-senator ChristiaDcy agt. LII
tic NJ. CbrStiancy, TO send commission to Michi-
gan to take the testimony of his sons George and
Victor as to the alleged acts of cruelty testified to
by defendant Judge Wylle said that he had not
read all the interrOgato-es in the Christian case
no, the ChIistiancy Case; that was mistake. IN
regard TO the point as to whether the commission
could issue because the witness had been pre-
viously examined, he understood that the inter
rogatores were rot ss to testimony on which they
were examined, and for that reason the commits
sion might issue, far that point was con-.
eerned He had gone farenough in the interroga-
tories To see that some o: them were Objectionable
but he could rot cite case where interrO2atories
had been suppressed. But there being no doubt
| it would follow that the court had power to sup
press Undergraduates Il wish ID say one word
more more about taking these depostions 1t some
IL outrlgeS all p-Opiety and decency, to take their
testimony" To illustrate this he read the follow
Ing from the opinion OF Justice Swain in the case
OF foley agt Leonard Second Wallace, Supreme
Court reports):
s'Nor is it inappropriate for us to say concerning
much OF the testimony introduced by HOratio
Leonard that when the father OF family intro
duces the Juvenile members of it az witnesses in
such litigation as this has beenit cannot be done
without its being considered as forlorn effort of
parental obliluty."
WIFE,
JuiSe WyHe SAID tnat ne 0id not undertake I'd
dictdtP. but it seemed to him that the testimony
had better not be taken, for most of il relates to
collateral matters which in no way affects the
ISSUE It was true that after the alleged acts of
cruelty she lived with the plaintiff in Peru as well
as elsewhere.
Mr.. Cuppy remarked that his client had been
charged both In the bill and testimony with
acts of cruelty, and the object to contradict
these Charges and TO show admissions On her
part
The court suggested that the counsel take the IN
terOSatOrieS and revise them to retain those
relating TO specific acts OF the father.
Mr.. Cole remarked that they had confined their
testimony TO the charges in the cross bill.
The counsel for the complainant withdrew the
1nterrogatorieS to revise them In concurrence with
the opinion.
