In the divorce suit OF j. X.
Burns Va. Hattie Burns, Judge
Stanley on Saturday fled a deci-
sion in which he denies the div
orce. on the ground that the Court
has no jurisdiction of the parties.
In it's opinion the Court states
the facts and says: "Our statute
is plain and to the point. No div
orce shall be granted for any
cause il the parties shall not have
lived together as husband and
wife within this Republic"
The facts in the case show that
in 1888 the parties left San Fran
cisco on visit to Melbourne, in
tending to return to San Francisco.
While at Melbourne and on the
return trip they had some Difficult
ty. The return steamer stopped
at Honolulu for one night, which
Burns aud his wife passed at
private house, and the next day
resumed their voyage. This was
their only residence here as man
and wife, and the court holds it
not sufficient to constitute legal
residence.
