  DIVORCE — Demand by petitioner for payment by co-respondent of money in lieu of damages — Connivance.
  June 8. The judgment of the court was read by LORD MERRIMAN P., who stated the facts, and continued: Denning J. held that on the evidence of the co-respondent as to the interviews, and on the letters, the husband from February or March, 1942, had tolerated, acquiesced in and concurred in the continuance of his wife's adultery from that time onwards. The judge added, referring to the leading case of Gipps v. Gipps, that if the husband had actually received the 4,000l. there would have been connivance. His state of mind was the same whether he received it or not.
