New York, Feb. 9.-Because of
the failure of attorneys to present for
final confirmation by the supreme
court, interlocutory DEGREES, fully 200
divorces obtained here are invalid. In
many cases the parties to the action

According to Justice Mccall, who
discovered the state of affairs, most
of the cases resulted from careless
ness. but there are others in which
