| About the twenty sixth December last
| he hit her in the face, and beat and
| maltreated her in most shameful
manner, and threatened to amputate
her cdput with shaving tool, or, in
other words, to cut her throat with a
razor. This nefarious design, it is alleged,
he certainly would have carried into execu-
ton but for the interference of her paternal
parient. Immediately thereafter he left her
and went browsing on fresh pastures by the
side Of still waters, until about the first of
January, when he returned, and she received
him and tried all the means which reason
and the sense of duty of an honorable wife
could suggest to induce him to amend his
conduct. But alas, and alack! on the fifth
Of May he again insulted her publicly, ap.
plying to her the most opprobrious epithets
without cause or provocation, and again
abandoned her.
Petitioner alleges that she resides N the
house OF her father, and formerly resided
On Bourbon street, where her husband
used to come for the purpose of creating
scandal and publicly abuse and insult ner.
She fears that he will pursue her to her
present retreat and repeat his scandalous
proceedings, and she, therefore, asks that
writ of injunction issue, forbidding the said
Domingo from visiting the house of her
father, where she now resides. She also
asks for a divorce. The court ass sigred
plaintiff a domicil, and issued the required
injunction.
