New Jersey Court of Chancery May 15, 1860 (Jennings v. Jennings)

The Chancellor.

The petitioner asks a divorce from the bond of matrimony for wilful, continued, and obstinate desertion on the part of the defendant.

The evidence shows that the parties were married about the year 1851, and that they lived together about eighteen months or two years. The defendant then returned to her mother’s house, where, so far as appears by the evidence, she still remains.
