A marriage in high life in England has had
strange result. Lord Durham was married
last fall to a young lady who loved some one
else but whose family pressed the marriage
upon her. After the wedding the young girl
refused to speak to her husband, lapsed into
stony silence and preserved it. Lord Durham
brought suit for divorce, alleging that she
was insane before her marriage. The suit
was dismissed with costs against his lordship,
and the judge in rendering his decision, de-
clared that the respondent loved another, and
censured her family for arranging the marriage
with his Lordship. The alleged insanity of
Lady Durham before her marriage was, the
Judge said, entirely improved.
