Syllabus

<p>Divorce — Separation by consent — Desertion—Evidence—Sufficiency — Refusal of libellant to cohabit.</p> <p>Proof of separation, by mutual consent, immediately after the parties were married by a justice of the peace is not sufficient to sustain a decree of divorce on the ground of desertion, where the uncontradicted evidence of the respondent establishes repeated efforts on his part to induce the libellant to live with him, and the testimony of the libellant is that she never cohabited, and never intended to cohabit, with the respondent until after a religious ceremony.</p>
