IF you find by preponderance of
the evidence that the plaintiff is enti-
tied to recover damages of and from
the defendant, then in considering the
amount of said damage, if any you
find, you should take into account and
consider not only the acts and conduct
of the defendant, but also the acts and
conduct of the plaintiff during the eX-
istence of the marriage relation and
prior to the divorce; and il you find
from the evidence that prior to the
alleged alienation of the affections of
the plaintiffs wife, the plaintiff mis-
treated her by slapping, striking or
otherwise abusing her, or that the
plaintiff was guilty of drunkenness or
associating with immoral women, or
accused his said wife of being un-
chaste, or that the plaintiff did not CO.
habit with his said wife, and no physi
cal impediment thereto existed. and
by reason of all these facts or any
