't he marriage tomk lace in April, 18411, and the
partu s lived at nest in the Ilayisiatket at Leicester,
where :Jr. JacLon was iio Lush, eta as a grocer. Being
nitsticeessfoll, bit soil the lessiness and took a

and never afterwards retuned. On the 6th .4 June
Mrs. Jack on received is letter from him, written at
Liverptml. in which lie announced that he was about to
start tor 1c cw lurk under the name of Johnstone. She
subse-piently received letters from him from America,
whieli he sod that he bail emigrated in onler to
try and get on bettor than he could in the old country,
as "poor Eu4land was going down hill." A corres-
pondence IV:. lit IA up until fferautliwr, Mil, when. in

the farm leal sinee been taken by her uncle, and she
had oec,ti,tcl mid managed it for hue until the petition
was preseuttal. In February, Ittr6, the respondent I
wrote to Ler a very penitent letter, expressed great
affection, soil lie was very poor, and asked for money
to pity has passage house. This was answered by her
sist4r, who refused to make a remittance, and said his
wife could not live with him again after what she had
heard of his Met in America. In 185$ his mother
provided him with u 1111 l ey to return to England, and he
olid return in the April of that year. In January last,
0111 again in June. he went to Is ailstone to we his wife,
but sloe would have nothing to say to hint, and load
him put out of the house. These facts were proved by
the petitioner &MI the respondent.
His Lordship said it was a clear trete of desertion.
.n,.• husband went away without notice in 1549, awl the
wife was nit collo:Ming party to the separation. Then
he wrote f A sueri,,, stating that lie looped to ti ad
seine orcupatien awl to Moe the means of maiet.duing
her, but there was no evidence that he was ever in a
position to offer ber a lioaie if she went out to I .
On the contrary, it appeared from his own letter that
he was a wanderer without a hollat and in a state of
abject penury. His abominable letter in 15.11 lOWA
hate pia SU Old to any expectation on lier part that
they could ever live together again. Ile did not return
to England until Wei, and any offer made after that to
return to cohabitation could not affect the present suit,
ait the wife's right to institute it had then accrued.
There must be a decree of judicial separation, with
costs.
