This was a libel for a divorce from the bonds of matrimony, for • the adultery of the husband. It appeared that the [ * 168 ] * parties were married a few years since at Framingham, in this county, lived first at Northampton, in Hampshire, and afterwards at Neivburyport, in Essex, where the husband deserted his wife, and has since continued out of the state. The wife, immediately on being left by her husband, returned to her father’s family at Framingham, and still resides there.
1Opinion of the Court
The Court
hesitated at first to take cognizance of the libel, as the parties had never lived together in the county, but, as it appeared that they had no permanent place of residence, a decree passed to divorce them. (a)
