Proceedings for divorce were taken with Parnell as the co-respondent: the case was undefended.

She left his office for a conference with Cheever. She found at home that he had been telephoning to her. She called him up, and he came over at once. "I'm in a devil of a mess, Charity," he said. "My lawyer refuses to help me give you evidence, and Zada Miss L'Etoile has developed a peculiar streak of obstinacy. She is determined that no other woman shall be named as the er co-respondent.
"End it then!" she muttered in a choked voice. "You can do as you like, you can divorce me." "Yes," said Lord Winsleigh musingly. "I can divorce you! There will be no defense possible, as you know. If witnesses are needed, they are to be had in the persons of our own domestics. The co-respondent in the case will not refute the charge against him, and I, the plaintiff, must win my just cause.
Traill," said Miss Standish-Roe, admiringly. "I did? Which one?" "The lady who admitted to kissing the co-respondent." "Why, you weren't in the court, were you?" "No but I read it in the paper your sister told me about it." Mrs. Durlacher looked apprehensively to her brother's eyes. From so small a thing as that he might unearth suspicion. But a pardonable vanity was touched in him.
And Struthers, when I challenged that statement, promptly announced that the lady in question was no more in search of health than a tom-cat's in search of water and no more interested in ranching than an ox is interested in astronomy, seeing as she'd 'a' been co-respondent in the Allerby and Crewe-Buller divorce case if she'd stayed where the law could have laid a hand on her, and standing more shamed than ever when Baron Crewe-Buller shut himself up in his shooting-lodge and blew his brains out three weeks before her ladyship had sailed for America, and the papers that full of the scandal it made it unpleasant for a self-respecting lady's maid to meet her friends of a morning in Finsbury Park.
"One of two things: divorce or disappearance." "You mean a framed-up divorce? The usual arranged affair?" "No, I don't. I mean a divorce with that Verney woman as co-respondent." "I'll not have you insult her by calling her 'that Verney woman!" "Miss Verney, then.... It's either divorce or total disappearance."
Clearly James' friend would not so consent, and had passed on the responsibility, minus the fee. This motion he made, and the co-respondent was dispensed with in the approved fashion; but when he turned round the solicitor had vanished, and he never saw him more or the two guineas either.
A few months later his frequent mysterious absences from his parliamentary duties were explained by his appearance, or rather his non-appearance, as co-respondent in a divorce case brought by Captain O'Shea against his wife. The Gladstonian party in England now demanded his retirement from the leadership of the cause, and Mr.
On discovery of misconduct on the woman's part the husband will usually divorce her; the man then retains all property accumulated since the marriage, and the children are divided between the parents. The co-respondent and respondent are fined by the chief, and half the amount of the fine goes to the injured husband.
In an action brought to obtain a divorce on the ground of adultery, the plaintiff or defendant may serve a copy of his pleading on the co-respondent named therein. At any time within twenty days after such service on said co-respondent he may appear to defend such action, so far as the issues affect such co-respondent.
