Superior Court of Pennsylvania
1Opinion of the Court
Opinion by
Woodside, J.,
The court below entered a decree of divorce a.v.m. in favor of Earl J. Branch and against his wife, Charmaine Merle Adams Branch on the ground of adultery. The defendant did not appeal, but William D. Cover-dale, who had been named corespondent in the action, did file an appeal from the divorce decree. The plaintiff filed a motion to quash the appeal on the ground that the corespondent had no authority to take it.
The question is whether a person named corespondent in a divorce action can appeal from a decree granting the plaintiff a divorce on the ground of adultery.
