Ebenezer Winslow, Libellant, versus Susannah Winslow.
    A libel for divorce cannot be sued by a guardian of a spendthrift.
    The libel in this case, which was for a divorce a vinculo matrimonii, for the adultery of the wife, was subscribed by a guardian, who had been appointed over the libellant, by the judge of probate, as a spendthrift.
    
      Holmes for the libellant.
   The Court

said it would be monstrous to dissolve a marriage upon such an application. It could not be known that the party ever gave his assent to the prosecution. If he is desirous of a divorce, and has sufficient ground to obtain one, he must file his libel in his own name.

Libel dismissed.
