Ira A. Lewis, petitioner, v. Irene Jones Lewis, defendant.
    [Decided June 5th, 1924.]
    Divorce — Adultery—Denial—Decree for Petitioner.
    On final hearing.
    
      Mr. Vhüip M. Chamberlin, for the petitioner.
    
      Mr. Pranlc I. Casey, for the defendant.
   Buchanan, Y. O.

Petition by the husband for divorce on the ground of adultery. Answers in denial by wife and co-respondent.

The sole issue is as to the fact of the alleged act of adultery. As more particularly explained orally at the close of the hearing, I have no doubt as to the truth of the testimony on behalf of petitioner in this regard, and, the jurisdictional requisites being also established, I will advise decree accordingly.

Costs, including counsel fees of one hundred dollars-($100), will he a,warded to petitioner against the co-respondent, and (petitioner having consented thereto in open court) costs, including counsel fee of fifty dollars ($50), will he decreed to defendant as against the petitioner.
