MORE BRITISH VILENESS.
By Cable to the United Press

LONDON. April 4, 1S95.-The petition
of the Countess Russell against her hus-
band. Earl Russell for a restriction of
her conjugal rights. was opened in the
Divorce Division of the High Court of
Queens Bench this forenoon. The ground
of the IGarl's refusal to grant her the
part In having accused him of a dis
gusting offence, during the progress of
her unsuccessful action for divorce in
1881
Sir Henry James. O. c.. on behalf of
Earl Russell, denounced the Countess
charge as entirely false and said that
should the wife succeed in obtaining the
RESTORATION of ner conjugal rights she
would doubtless demand that her hus-
band maintain her. This he was not dis
posed to do as he could not maintain the
relations of a husbapd to her after the
foul charges she had made against him.
Ssr Henry James said that after the
first trial for divorce the Countess had
her husband + she could have in the
house some person of sufficient physical
strength to protect her from violence.
Her husband refused to accede to this
arrangement unless she retracted her
charges against him. The Countess
threatened to- go upon the stage in order
to obtain a livelihood, Whereupon her
husband rem. .nded fler of the fact that
she had an income of f600 year, which
made it unnecessary for her to take to
the stage.
Counsel for Countess Russell said that
his client withdrew the imputation of
immoral practices which she shad made
against her husband, but still held that
there was foundation for such belief.
She, however, maintained the truth of
the charges of physical cruelty which
she had originally made. The case was
adjourned for the day.
