1Opinion of the Court
Keith, P.,
delivered the opinion of the court.
On the 20th of May, 1912, J. W. Craig filed his bill against his wife, Lottie H. Craig, charging her with adultery, and praying for a divorce from the bonds of matrimony. This cause was removed to the Law and Equity Court of the city of Richmond, and on June 18, 1912, the defendant filed her answer, which she prayed might be treated as a cross bill, in which she denied that she had been guilty of adultery, and made the charge against the plaintiff of cruelty and desertion, and asked that she be granted a divorce from bed and board.
