The Bill passed through its final stages in the House

of Commons on Friday, December 10th, winning its race against time with a very small margin. It went through all its stages in the House of Lords on Tuesday. Several Peers protested against the unreasonable haste with which their House was required to deal with such an important measure. The fate of the Bill was not really in doubt, however, as it had been accepted by the Lords last year. Many British newspapers have been in the habit of publishing such evidence in matrimonial suits as does not appear in the newspapers of other civilized countries. Now we hope that that false liberty has finally been brought to an end.
