Three years later the wife secured a. divorce, but four years •afterwards they were re-married in Canada. Another difficulty arose shortly aftei their second marriage, and this tinfe the husband sought and obtained a divorce.
Tile wife went back to live with her mother, but recently the two ladies were travelling together on a train when they met Mr. Westbourne, who immediately proposed to his former wife, and was accepted for a third time.
A license was at once obtained, and the couple were married by a magistrate.
