Opinion on Morality and Duty in a Divorce Case Verdict for Defendant
In a judgment by Lord Chief Justice, the judge upheld an unusual standard of morality, asserting that living separately from a wife after she leaves is not actionable. He noted the wife had continued ordinary relations with her husband, while the defendant’s letter claimed no dishonor but implied possible reception if she left. The jury was directed that the plaintiff had no legal right to a verdict, and the verdict returned was for the defendant.
