Bennett v. Bennett

Michigan Supreme Court

Decided April 16, 1872PublishedCited by 7 opinions

Appeal in Chancery from Lapeer Circuit.

1Opinion of the Court

Christiancy, Ch. J.

This was a bill for divorce upon two grounds: First, of adultery; and second, of extreme cruelty.

It cannot, in our opinion, be sustained on the ground of adultery, for two reasons: First, there is but one charge of adultery in'the hill sufficiently specific in time to warrant any evidence whatever as a ground of divorce; and that was on or about the loth day of June, 1867 (without stating any place so as to identify the instance intended); and no evidence whatever was given, tending to prove this particular charge or any other instance of adultery during that year.
