For various reasons the Lib- eral Members from Ontario did not want to introduce the bill, and the Conservatives who were quite free to do it, were not particularly anxious to do a piece of hard work for the Gov- ernment. The bill is going through the Commons in the name of Mr. Woodsworth. and from the temper of the debate on Friday night, it would appear that it would be defeated. The remainder of the 96 senators have gone to restâ€"no not eternal, just until March. 20th, after having worked seven days during which time they passed a bill asking that a Divorce Court in Ontario be established. In theory the Government has now a majority in the Senate, but in actual practice it has not, since four or five of the Liberal Senators cannot at- tend. owing to great age or physical infirmities. Yet. it is altogether likely that enough of our judicial Upper House brethren of both parties will gather in the spring to defeat any promising bit of legislation that comes from the Commons. ces secured in the city of Detroit. It is clearly seen that without; a Court divorces are rapidly increasing. The unexpected has happened, and the Senate is overworked; well, not all of it, but a part or it, the Divorce lCommittee, and that any part of that august and leisurely body should be straining every nerve and crowding every hour to keep up With its work is surprising enough. It happened thus: 'In the fifty years from 1867 to 1916, in- clusive, Parliament voted 310 divorces; ’in the five years from 1916 to 1922 in- clusive, 294 divorces were ‘granted, just 16 less than in the preceeding fifty years, and in the following five 'years from 1922 to 1926 inclusive, 608 divorces, and in the one session” 1926- 27, 196 divorces, and last session 238, and this session almost 250. Yet we have no divorce court in Ontario to deal with them. The Divorce Com- mittee of the Senate has been increas- ed from nine to fifteen, and for the uncontested cases it breaks into two parts and conducts a. two-ring circus, although for contested cases the Committee must meet as a whole. Still, we righteous Ontario folk won’t have a' Divorce Court; a Court that: could make provisions for the child- ren, which the Senate Committee can- not, because they fear that by having a Court we would increase the number of divorces. In addition to the cases tried before the Senate Committee, it was stated in the Senate debate that in 1928 there were 548 Canadian divor- of things; they originated in medieval times and were meant to indicate class distinctions, those good old times when lthey prayed Heaven that they might be made content to stay in the posi- tion in which it had pleased Provid- ence to call them Mr. Dunning gracefully covered the retreat of the Government forces. The mover, however, insisted on a vote, which resulted in the defeat of the motion 'by nearly two to one. Most of the Liberals voted against the. motion; the Farm, Labor and Independents. against it, and sprinkling of Conserva- tives also against it.
