DIVORCE CASE.
LONDON, Dec. 4. Lady Cheylesmore was greatly distressed and sobbed bitterly during a close examination in the case in which her husband is suing for a divorce. She said her husband and his brother had been dreadfully drunk even while their mother was in Canada. The mother was never cross about anything they did. Both were spoilt. She quoted extracts from her husband’s diary: [‘Had a hectic evening. Much worse for wear. Home with two bottles of fizz and two of j>ort. Very tight. Awfully sorry for iNorah.” Counsel, in his address, pointed out that somebody of Cheylesmore’s family had perpetrated a hostile act towards the wife as far back as 1919 by sending to Tasmania for her birth certificate. Surely the mother-in-law must have struck tho court ns being a masterful woman, capable of being sweetly unkind.
Judgment was reserved.—A. and N.Z. cable.
