HANNAH COSSAN v. WILLIAM COSSAN.
    A divorce will be granted where the husband sends his wife 10 see her brother, under the false pretence that he is unwell, and availing himself of her absence, leaves the country, and continues absent for three years.
    Divorce. Wilful absence three years.
   In this case it appeared that the parties had some slight misunderstanding, and the husband having been absent from home a day or two, returned, and told his wife to go and see her brother, who was sick, and who lived a few miles distant. She went to her brother’s, found him well, and was informed that he had not been sick. She returned home, but her husband was gone, and has not since been heard of. This was more than three years ago.

Divorce decreed, with costs.
