Alfred St Louis a dry land farmer living on the beach south of Dillon sued his wife for divorce after thirty years of marriage alleging intolerable life. The case in equity occupied the court all day with Robison and Gilbert for the plaintiff and Pease and Stephenson for the defendant. The jury’s advisory verdict found that married life was a burden for both parties but the plaintiff had not persisted in a course of action that would render life intolerable.
The text notes that findings of the jury are advisory and the judge may use discretion in granting a divorce and dividing property rights between the parties. It mentions potential infliction of grievous or bodily injury on the defendant and the differing roles of jury verdicts and judicial decision.
