The plaintiff and her witnesses ap- peared at the hearing but the defendant was only represented by counsel.
 Cruelty

It was the plaintiffs second marriage and she has three children all adults, by the first marriage. The plaintiffs name, previous to her latest marriage was Gladys Hodg- man.
 The report and recommendations may be presented to Judge Ken- meth Wynue at the Friday short calendar session. At that time he will enter judgment.
 Three women will present un- contested divorce pleadings at the Friday morning short calendar ses- sion.
 The uncontested divorces are: Margaret Doherty Rivard, Dyer against Forrest Dyer; Catherine Dillon MacLelland against William MacLelland: and Velma Louise Gaugler against Walter Gaugler.
