On Marriage.

Here is sound advice on marriage, coming from a magisterial bench in Dublin: “From the experience which I have gained in the Police court, ” said the Magistrate, “I would advise people

not to get married at all, especially females; for, in the number of assault cases between married people which have come before me, I have had only one case in whioh the wife was charged with assault upon her husband." It was generally supposed that a “female” was a .necessary concomitant to a marriage, a particeps criminis, so to say. But probably the rule is altered for Dublin, where an Irish member of Parliament recently declared that as long as Ireland remained silent, England would be deaf to her cries of anguish.
