Charles Mordaunt epub An Official Report of Mordaunt V. Mordaunt, Cole, and Johnstone: As Tried Before Lord Penzane, in the Divorce Court, February 16 and Following Days (Classic Reprint)

Cole, Johnstone, and Others. COURT FOR DIVORCE AND MATRIMONIAL CAUSES. Feb. 16. first DAY. B efore Lord Penza5s CE and a Special Jury.) I HE opening of the mucli-talked-of Great Warwickshire Scanda Fcase in the Divorce Court, at Westminster excited unusual public interest. The doings of this Court at all times are regarded with a curiosity calculated to lead a man cynically inclined to believe that vice is more fascinating than virtue. Most people would hardly credit the eagerness with which ladies and gentlemen of all ages clamour day after day for the privilege of hearing revelations of impure life leaving the Court only when entrance has been denied them, and even then reluctantly. The chronic attraction which this department of justice presents on ordinary occasions is naturally heightened, twenty or a hundredfold, acoording to the nature of the cause to be heard. Curiosity rose in the present case to fever-heat, for persons of high social standing were concerned, and a goodly feast was ofi Pered to the scandal-mongers of the period. It is perhaps a fortunate thing that Lord Penzance has of late strictly limited and regulated the attendance at his Court, and it was also a fortunate thing for those who were penned there that the regulations were strictly enforced.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
