Syllabus

<p>Divorce — Desertion—Gourse of conduct — Evidence — Order of support.</p> <p>A husband is entitled to a divorce for desertion where the evidence shows that the wife was guilty of constant and intemperate language and other acts sufficient to have justified him in leaving her; that while he was at work she tore his clothing into pieces, left them in the middle of the room and disposed of his household furniture and tools, and left his house; that when he went to see her she said she did not wish to see him, and that if he returned she would throw vitriol in his face; and that her conduct had apparently been due to a groundless suspicion of infidelity.</p> <p>The fact that an order had been made against a husband for support will not prevent him from securing a divorce on the ground of desertion upon proper cause shown.</p> <p>Divorce — Duty of lower court to write opinion — Assignment of error — Appeals.</p> <p>It is the duty of the court below in reviewing a proceeding for divorce to state its reasons for overruling or sustaining the exceptions, in addition to reviewing in writing the case on its merits.</p> <p>An assignment of error in a divorce proceeding should be quashed where there is no final decree set forth in the assignment or in the paper book.</p>
