INTRODUCTION.

THE

HE object of the important-though short-statute which is the principal subject of this Work was, according to the Memorandum prefixed to the Bill as originally brought in the House of Commons, stated to be the consolidation and amendment of the two enactments mentioned in the Schedule for the summary relief of married women in cases of aggravated assault by means of orders for separation, alimony, and custody of children, and in cases of desertion by means of orders for alimony.

According to the same Memorandum the chief alterations in the law thereby sought to be effected

were:

(1) to keep distinct the administration of civil and criminal remedies and thereby to avoid existing anomalies and defects ;

(2) to assimilate the extent of relief which may be given in cases of aggravated assault and

desertion;

(3) to extend relief to cases of such persistent

cruelty and neglect to maintain as force a wife to separate herself from her husband;
