Syllabus

<p>1. Divorce. Review. Finding.</p> <p>Where it does not appear that he was manifestly wrong, the finding of a chancellor on questions of fact will not be disturbed.</p> <p>2. Divorce. Grounds. Habitual use of drugs.</p> <p>Where, at the time complainant separated from his wife, she was addicted to the habitual and excessive use of narcotics such as opium, morphine, etc., but at the time complainant filed his bill for divorce she had overcome such habit and regained her normal condition of mind and body. In such case a divorce should not have been granted, the cause of complaint not existing at the time the bill was filed nor the decree rendered, and the grounds for divorce not being for a moral crime nor the infliction of personal indignity.</p>
