Syllabus

<p>Appeals — Supreme Court — Superior Court — Divorce.</p> <p>An appeal from a decree in divorce lies to the Supreme Court, not to the Superior Court.</p> <p>Divorce — Desertion—JEvidence.</p> <p>In a suit for divorce by a husband against his wife for desertion, the evidence on the part of the husband tended to show that the respondent left her husband’s house after a number of quarrels; that she rented and furnished a house and continued to live in it for over two years; that she was requested by her husband to return which she refused to do, except that occasionally she went to his house taking her food with her with no other object than, as she announced, “to raise the devil.” Much of this evidence was contradicted by witnesses called by the wife. Held, on appeal, that a decree for divorce should be sustained.</p>
