rrofigate criminal and trod out her very
hearts blood she could get no alimony.
II was no argument against the bill to
saw that it changed the common law for
that.
SENATOR HENDERsoN's POINT.
senator Henderson. the author of the
bill advocated its passage. Alimony is
always granted the wife in a suit for alb
solute divorce for a cause occurring after
marriage. 1t was not allowed in di-
vorce vinculo matrimonii at the COM
mon law. because the divorce could only
be granted for some cause or impedi-
ment existing before the marriage and
the decree in such a cause was a finding
that no valid marriage ever existed but
was void from the beginning. This fact
must be carefully borne in mind. BY the
laws of England from time immemorial,
the marriage tie was indssoluble Moth
ing occurring after the marriage could
dissolve it. The marriage might be de-
clared nul and void for many causes
such as impotency, duress, and a mar
riage within the prohibited decrees A
wife could not have alimony in such a
case because her only claim for a disso-
luton of marriage was that she had never
been a real wife and she could not be
entitled to maintenance from a man who
had never been her husband. BY the
English Divorce Act of 1857, when a
dissolution of the marriage was first al
lowed on account of adultery, the common
law rule as to alimony was abrogated,
and allmony was allowed both in the
case of suit for a judicial separation
and also in suit for the absolute dis
solution of the marriage. There is no
longer a reason for continuing the old
rule, and the reason causing the rule
should cease also.
BY the Oanonical law. by the common
law and by Holy Scripture there seems to
be no cause for the dissolution of the
marriage tie except for cause or i'm
