Steele v. Steele.
    
      Practice in divorce.
    
    This was an issue joined on the facts alleged in a libel for a divorce : and upon the trial, the Chief Justice observed, that notice ought to be given of the facts intended to be proved under the general allegations of the libel.
   Rush, Justice.

I think it would be most convenient to give notice, that between two specific dates, acts of cruelty, &c., were intended to be proved.

The Court seemed to adopt that idea, and recommended it for the future practice of the bar.
