Full Judgment

Wilson, J.

1. In this case I shall follow the view of the law taken in the Bombay High Court in King v. King I.L.R. 6 Bom. 416. The result will be that the affidavits filed by the respondent and others in this matter will be put up with the record of the suit. Following the Bombay case, I shall not, when the matter comes on for the decree to be made absolute, allow the respondent to be heard; but, as in the Bombay case, information will be given to the attorney for the petitioner that the decree will not be made absolute till the matters set out in the affidavits alleging collusion have been cleared up. She may take what course she may be advised for the purpose of clearing up the matters alleged in the affidavits on that subject.
