@ II appears from the records OF thi

1 women under the guise Of marriage
their sale as chattels, and corrupt com

mess Of prostitution, are among thu
disclosures brought out by the trials o
these cases.
The customs of marriage and divorce
of certain nationalities, largely repre-
scented here, and the prevailing senti

carrying them out. The trials of viola

indirectly on this subject are important
