Syllabus

<p>Divorce — Refusal of divorce — Review by appellate court — Evidence — Gruel and barbarous treatment.</p> <p>On an appeal from a decree refusing a divorce, the appellate court is required to review the testimony in order to ascertain whether it is sufficient to obtain a divorce; and in such review the court must be governed by the facts and not by the conclusions or opinions of the witnesses.</p> <p>On a libel for divorce filed by a husband against his wife on the ground of cruel and barbarous treatment, mere general assertions as to the conduct of the respondent and her treatment of her husband will be considered of no value, if they are not accompanied by evidence of the actual facts on which such assertions are based.</p>
