Syllabus

<p>Divorce — Grounds—Equality of Fault — Appeal—Findings—Presumption. A decree of divorce is sustained by findings that both parties had been guilty of cruelty rendering their married life a burden to them and that it was impossible for them to longer live together; since, in the absence of the evidence, it will not be presumed that the parties were equally at fault, especially where defendant’s admissions showed that his cruelty was endured for years by the plaintiff before the cruelty on her part; since the findings should be liberally construed.</p> <p>Fullerton, J., dissents.</p>
