EENHE undersigned, your humble petitioner,
a states, that on the twenty second day of
December last, in the county aforesaid, she
was marriedto one Matthew &. Bowles, hoping
and fondly expecting happiness from their
matrimonial connection. But to her unutter-
able chagrin, the said Bowles, since their in
termarriage as aforesaid, has been wasting and
squandering the property that he acquired
by his intermarriage with your petitioner; and
he has taken from her, her bed, and left her
destitute of property, and in necessitous cir
cumstances, and threatens to take from her
what every little property she has, or may
have, and affirms that he married your petit
toner for her property alone. Your petition
er further observes, that at the time of her
intermarriage as aforesaid, she was in regard
to property capable of living comfortably, and
that he was then worth nothing. She says he
has now left her, and she knows not where
he is. She also Estates, that at the aforesid time
OF her intermarriage with the said Bowles, he,
said Bowles, had then another wife living in
Kentucky. Your petitioner therefore humbly
prays this honorable court to decree her a
divorce from the bands of matrimony, entered
into as aforesaid, with the said Bowles; and
also make what other or further order or de-
cree may seem meet in the premises, And
your petitioner, as in duty bound, will ever
pray. her
