1Opinion of the CourtJustice Scott

The bill in this case is for divorce, and was brought by Emma A. Sharp, in the circuit court of Cook county, against her husband, William Sharp. On the final hearing, the circuit court dismissed the bill for want of equity. Complainant removed the cause to the Appellate Court for the First District, where the decree rendered in the trial court was reversed, and the cause remanded, with specific directions to that court to enter a decree on behalf of complainant for a divorce. Defendant now brings the case to this court on appeal, and seeks a reversal of the judgment of the Appellate Court.
