belief, and so as to the same l leave the
defendant to his proof.
The Inst division of the answer, charging
criminai;y with said Darwin, and also various
criminalites, is in erery particular untrue, and
so are all the other aveFmeots which contain
any matter not related in The petition unless
the same has been admitted herein.
also beg to submit to the court that If
there was any doubt touching my right 10 u
divorce it has been removed by the conduct
of the defendant since our separation. Not
only did he most res0lutely restrain me, AZ
ter my deliberate demand that he suffer me to
depart, not only did he during month en-
dcavor to extort by threats or to procure
by purchase what could alone have been ac-
corded to his husbandly love, not only did he
when craved to remain as the mistress of
his house, precipitatc me upon the world I'M
prepared, and pennilcss and bending under
his curse, not only did he devise 10 drive n@

that my mothers illness would leave me I'M

was only thwarted by her determination to

risk Of her own life. Not only has he Stree set

In conclusion, would say responding to
the answer, that the sole reasons why claim
a divorce have been concisely stated in my pc
ttion, and so claim with an assurance that
the legal grounds exist which entitle me to
one. would avail myself Of the mercifut
