1Opinion of the Court
By the Court
Nisbet, J.
delivering the opinion.
This was an application by the husband for a divorce, a vinculo matrimonii, upon the single ground that his wife had abandoned him. She would not live with him, and that was all he had to allege against her. The Court below decided that abandonment by the wife was not a good cause for divorce, either a vinculo matrimonii or a mensa et thoro. To this'opinion the libellant excepted.
We might, perhaps, have determined this question, affirm- [l.J ing or disaffirming the judgment, without giving any opinion as ta what constitutes good cause for divorce…
