Justices ines and Tillinghast heard a
number of petitions for divorce today
and In the larger number of cases the
petitions were promptly granted. A few
cases were heard in part and the delay in
the decision was In some instances due to
an informality in the petition or the
service Tomorrow Is the last day for
hearing these uncontested petitions for
divorce and though goodly number will
probably have been granted by that time
the total will be less than that for any
three days since the present custom of
hearing uncontested cases together was
adopted. There are, however, "a large num-
Der of divorce cases on the docket of the
Appellate division TO be disposed of, but
the petitioners for some reason or other,
