Supreme Judicial Court of Maine July 1, 1850 (Motley v. Motley)

Shepley, C. J., orally.

This inquiry involves the construction of the statute of 1849. Does that Act operate as a repeal of the Revised Statutes, as to causes of divorce ? It contains no express provision for such repeal. There is, then, no repeal, unless the new provisions are clearly repugnant to, and inconsistent with, those of the former law.
