Syllabus

<p>Divorce — Desertion—Evidence—Insufficiency.</p> <p>A mutual consent that will prevent a divorce on the ground of desertion may be inferred from the conduct of the parties, and need not be put in the form of a solemn written agreement.</p> <p>Where it appears that there was no attempt on the part of libellant to relieve the situation or to open the way for the wife’s return, the conclusion is justifiable that the libellant did not care for bis wife’s presence and companionship, and that the separation was by consent, but did not amount to wilful and malicious desertion.</p>
