THE DIVORCE LAW.
Important Ruling by tho Supreme Court
of Minnesota Regarding 1t.

Important Ruling by tho Supreme Court
OF Minnesota Regarding 1t. :
a decree OF separation from bed and
board forever, made by virtue of the
Minnesota law, which is still in force,
does not allow second action for an
absolute divorce being maintained upon
the statutory grounds Of habitual
drunkenness. Such is the Judgment
rendered by the Supreme Court Of Min
nesota recently in the famous divorce
case of Jennie e. Evans, appel
liant, VS.. James G. Evans, respondent.
The case came up on appeal from the
circuit court Of Ramsey County. The
lower court found as fact that Evans
had been guilty of habitual drunk
enness for the space of one
year Immediately preceding the
filing Of the complaint, but re-
fused the relief demanded in the COM
plant because Of the existence of the
divorce from bed and board which had
been obtained four years previous. To
hold that divorce from the bonds can
not be adjudged so long as decree Of
separation Is in force would lead to
the most surprising results. 1t would
confer upon the vito the power to OBJ
tain perpetual decree from bed and
board from an offending husband and
thereafter to openly give cause for d.
vorce vinculo, while the husband re-
mains without remedy or relief. The
Judgment is reversed and the case re-
manded with instructions that decree
of absolute divorce be entered and de-
manded in the complaint.
