    Divorce. The petition was filed in August, 1830 — the cause, wilful absence.
    
      Hubbard offered evidence that the petitioner was a boatman in 1828, and was principally upon the river.
    When up, he was occa- ■ sionally at Bridgeport, in this county, at boarding. He removed into Virginia, but came over a short time on account of some difficulty; but his place of residence in 1830, when the petition was. filed, was in Virginia.

You cannot proceed. The petitioner was not a resident of Ohio when he commenced his proceedings, and had not resided in the state two years before; both of which the law requires.

Bill dismissed.
