probably, locked up in the archives of the Court.
The answer Is ms follows, sworn to by defendant.
We omit names
The first paragraph denies "positively and un-
equivocallyb being guilty of the charge preferred
against her. which she says was untruly and
maliciously" made.
"And the said defendant further saith that she
verify believes that this suit is brought by said
plaintiff for the illegal and unhoIy purpose of re-
the support and maintenance which she is Justly
| md lawfully entitled to from said plaintiff and
| that he has entered into combination and con-
spiracy with divers persons to effect that end;
and she has been informed and she verify believes
that he has offered large suma of money to one or
more parties to aid him in his measures to obtain
divorce from her
And the said defendant further saith that short.
| y after her marriage with said plaintiff, he COM
menced system OF persecution, abuse and i'll
treatment toward her, which has been continued
by him until the present time; that he has sew
| eral occasions cruelty beaten her, and has so de-
meaned and deported himself toward her rs to
! make her life one of unalloyed misery and unhap-
| piness that he was at times accustomed to the
use of ardent liquor too freely, when his conduct
was hard and tyranncal toward her that he is of
| Jealous and arbitrary disposition, ard has fre-
| quently declared without any cause, that he wes
| determined TO get nd Of her, and that he would
| spend any amount of money for that purpose. the
plaintiff is said to be wealthy and she soemnly,
| in the presence Of Almighty God declares that
| she has never been unfathtu TO her marriage VOW,
or her conduct ever otherwise than yirtuous and
| correct"
The answer may, possibly, not be corect-yet

| true, exhibits course OF conduct which should
not be concealed.
