Syllabus

<p>Divorce — Actions—Defenses. It is no defense to a husband’s cause of action for divorce that the wife, after the commencement of the action, offered to make amends for past misconduct.</p> <p>Divorce — Actions—Trial—Reopening Case. Upon reopening a divorce trial for further evidence, it is not an abuse of discretion to refuse to hear evidence of adultery on the part of the plaintiff, where it was not newly discovered, the wife knew the facts before the commencement of the action, was given a liberal allowance for suit money and attorney’s fees, and1 offered no evidence of adultery at the original trial after full opportunity to do so.</p>
