DIVORCE ON DECLINE
IN 'O7 IN ENGLAND

London. June 2o.-Divorce is on the
decline in England. The number of
cases to be heard at the high court
during the present term is consider
ably less than last term. On the other
hand, the number of important cases
to be tried by special juries is higher
than usual.
Divorce cases reached their highest
point in numbers in 1904. when nearly
500 suits were heard. This is a very
high record for England, where the
law makes it more difficult to bring
suits for divorce than in the majority
of American states.
Divorce court statistics of last term
show that the majority of suits were
brought by wives against their hus-
bands. This has been reversed this
term. for in ninety-four suits the hus-
band is the petitioner, and in sixty
three only the wife brings the suit
against her husband.
