Divorces (1889)
THE DIVORCE RECORD


A Decrease as Compared with 1888.

HUSBAND'S GROWING CRUEL.

Statistics Which Indicate That Women Dislike the Bonds.

The following statistics dealing with the divorce question, as adjudicated by the courts of this city, furnish an interesting study. By reference to the comparative table it will be seen that the number of divorces granted in 1888 exceeded those of 1889 by 111. At the same time the record for 1889 shows the ratio granted on application of the wife is about the same as last year. The record for 1889, when compared with the three previous years, is certainly very gratifying with the exception of the single ground of cruelty, which looms up with undue prominence:
