LONDON Probably the most
pompous queue in London is the
daily one at the Kojal Courts of
Justice, where be-wigged barris
ters, overworked solicitors and
(heir harassed, morning - coated
clerks stand in line lo find out
when their clients' divorce cases
are likely to come up.
Of the 35,000 divorce cases filed
last year and a higher figure is
expected this year 5,000 were
heard in the last eight weeks Un
defended divorce petitions are go
ing through on a lime schedule of
ten niinules a case, or 140 cases a
day.
This sliced is a headache lo jov-
i a I, 48-year-old Cornishnian, J. L.
rruscolt, who as clerk of Ihe rules
has the job of making up tin- lists.
Heckled by solicitors who want
to put cases forward or back Trus-
cott still keeps his temper, though
ne lost ins voice and his little white
traditional starched bib is sonie-
whal awry.
Pleasantly he answers each
iucry, insisting however that lm.n-
persons' divorces don't get pushed
to the end ol the list
Contrary to popular belief, the
hooves and horns of animals do nut
yield glue, although lhc pith of
horns and the interior of hooves
are sources of raw materials used
in its manufacture.
