There is considerable anxiety here as to
what stand the king viii take concerning
divorced people For great part Of the
reign of Queen Victoria divorced per
sons were not permitted 10 appear al
court This rule was enforced until about

a special application. Whenever

court she was required TO send IN a report
Of the proceedings In her case, which was

distinguished man who had divorced her
first husband. her own conduct having al
ways been uniupeachable. had her appli-

Victoria had no sympathy with sufferers
from matrimonial troubles. and il dealing
with these cases her decision mainly de-
pended in reality upon family connections
