DIVORCE REPORTS
RESTRICTIONS ON BRITISH PRESS. (Received Jan. 14, 8.50 p.m.) LONDON, Jan. 14. Describing the procedure in divorce courts since detailed newspaper reports are forbidden by law, the Daily Express says: Parties to a suit now give evidence in rapid succession, and suit follows suit with almost equal rapidity. Barristers have lost much of their former emotional appeal. A dry recital of the circumstances is followed by the corroboration of a few witnesses and then a formal appeal is made for the decree.” Newspapers now rarely publish even such skeletonized reports as the law permits.. The opinion is expressed that this is likely in the course of time to encourage increased suits. —A.N.Z.C.A.
