<p>Divorce — Adultery—Gruel and barbarous treatment — Evidence —Sufficiency.</p> <p>A divorce is properly granted on the ground of adultery where there is sufficient evidence to establish the fact that the respondent met the corespondent at four different times, late at night, at the home of the former and was there alone with her for some period of time.</p> <p>Divorce — Affidavit that complaint is made in good faith — Practice, G. P. — Act of March IS, 1815, 6 Sm. L. 287.</p> <p>In divorce proceedings the injured party must set forth in his libel the cause of his or her complaint, together with an affidavit that the complaint is not made out of levity or by collusion between the said husband and wife, and for the mere purpose of being freed and separated from each other, but in sincerity and truth for the cause mentioned in said petition or libel. This affidavit is essential to complete the libel. It is not necessary in an amendment to the original cause of action.</p>
