There weré 1238 undefended petitions by husbands and 378 unde- fended petitions ‘by wives. leaving only 409 where any opposition exists. To get a divorce in England or Wales husband must prove unfaith- fulness—that being the sole ground for action. When a wife brings suit she must prove not only the breaking of the seventh commandment, but also cruelty or desertion. And. every petition for divorce must be heard, in.

Colenel Josiah Wedgewood, mem-| ber of parliament from Newcastle, once he had safely got-his divorce and married the woman he loved, prompt- ly proclaimed that he nad obtained his decree by fraud, had no regrets and virtually advised others ‘to do likewise. Cannot Change Law “The law which the church will not allow. politicfans to change,” says Col- onel. Wedgewood, “insists that a wife shall only divorce her husband if guilty of adultery plus desertion or cruelty. The law permits desertion to be assumed if a writ for restitu- tion of conjugal. rights is obtained and not complied! with. “So letters were exchanged and I was found guilty of desertion.
