The libel nla divorce, which has been iled in the Prothanotary's oaiee during the past few days br Mr. Finn'. attorney. recltes that Mrs. Finn deserted her husband in 187l, taking her cbildren with her, and that she continues to absent herself. A peeuliar feature of the ease is that Mrs. Finn obtained a di voeee in another state a year ago, but as smoa a slbe learnd of her humband's ac tion she expreued her deter.lnatlon to contest the proceedings, and wrote to her relatives here that she would return to this city in order to put in her defence. Mr.l Finn was married in this city eight or nine years ago. She wan Mary A. Guise and is eonected with same of the wealt est and hest known families of the city. Her husband is a member of the inrm of John (. Finn i Hon, paper nanu facturers. The lnion did not prove to be ate of the h . and about two years ao Mrs Finn en action in this city for divorce, alleging in nce on her husband'spart.

The divorce laws of that state do not re a notice to be served on the efenant, and Mrs. Finn. after a rea dene ao a r in the state, had no difl eulty in obtaining a decree of divorce. She was awarded the ustody of her two chllden.

The husband could not be married again In this state, hut he could outside of it. Each could be mens r-ed again in any state in the Unlon except Penonslvania. In this state the · two would still he man and wife. iThe law upon which lawyers rely for the i justieation of foreign divoresr and upon Swhich Mrs. Finn bases her case is the act I of ('ongres for the authentication of Secoirds, which states that "judicial pro. eeedings authentlcated hll have such faith and credit given them in every court within the United States as they have by law or sage its the court of the state fron whence the saki reports are taken." Mr. Finn's counsel depentds upon the new laws in this state, formulated since the famnous Nicholson divorce suit in this city a few yearn ago. One of them is that "a foreign statute upon the subject of marriage in direct eotfliet with our estab libhed policy will not he regarded as bind ing in our courts."
