In the Circuit Court for Carroll County.
Joseph Kerchner VS.. Christina Keirchncr.
TNHE object of this suit is to procure de-
a cree divorcing the Complainant from the
Defendant a ViHestio gadtTim0nfi.
The bill states that on or about the 18th day
Of August, A. d., 1868, the Complainant was
married to the Defendant, in York county, in
the State Of Pennsylvania, by the Reverend
Daniel Griug that shortly after said marriage
the Complainant and Defendant moved to the
home of the Complainant, in Carroll county,
Maryland, where they resided as man and
wife for the space Of about two years, during
all ofwhieh time the Complainant acted and
demeaned himself towards the Defendant in
kind, affeetionate and loyal manner, Civ
ing her no cause for complaint, but in all
respects fulfilling his duty towards her, and
being true and faithful to his marriage vows;
that after living together as man and wife, as
aforesaid, the said wife of the Complainant
left and deserted and abandoned him without
any just cause or provocation or excuse, and
has never since returned to the home Of the
Complainant; and that said abandonment and
desertion have continued uninterfuptedly for
more than three years and up to the filing of
the Bill of Complaint, and still continues; and
that such desertion and abandonment, as the
Complainant believes and charges, are delib-
crate and final; and that the separation of
the Complainant and his said wife is beyond
any reasonable expectation of reconciliation;
that the said Christina Keirchner resides out
Of the State Of Maryland, in the State Of
Pennsylvania, and that since she abandoned
the Complainant she has committed the crime
of adultery; the bill prays for decree divor.
cling the Complainant, uiHcuio matrimonii,
from the Defendant, for general relief and
for an order Of publication against the De-
PENDANT.
Il is thereupon adjudged and ordered this
18th day Of June, A. d., 1877, that the Com.
plainant, by causing a copy Of this order to
BIO inserted in some newspaper published in
Carroll county aforesaid, once in each of four
successive weeks before the 18th day Of July,
next, give notice to the said absent Defendant
Of the object and substance of this bill, and
warn her to appear in this Court, in person
or by Solicitor, on or before the 10Th day Of
October next, to answer the premises and
show cause, if any she has, why q decree
ought not 10 pass as prayed.
