defraud him of his deeds — finds it necessary, in juflice
to her own charafler and good name, to adore all good
persons that there is no just foundation for the charg

always lived with him and faithfully did the duties of
a wife, and never left the house til) his usage obliged
her to fly to save her bones, that they have lived hap
pily together till witnin tnefe fix months, when hist
acquaintance and Connections wim another woman by

having more affection for this wom^n than his lawful
