Herman E. Stoddard of Brook
field, brought a petition for the
annulment of his marriage to Grace
E. Anderson, of Roxbury, Mass.
In this case, the court found that
at the time the marriage contract
was solenmized in this state, the

Boston, from whom she had never
been divorced, and as a matter of
consequence declared that the mar
riage between Mr.. Stoddard and
Mrs. Anderson was null and void.
The only contested case heard
at this term was Benton R. Rowell
VS.. Nettie M. Rowell, the parties
coming from Corinth. Mr.. Rowell

charging him with intolerable sew
Gritty and willful neglect and re-
fusal to support. There were about
thirty witnesses summoned on each
side, and after the court had heard
the evidence on behalf of Mr..
Rowell, which occupied the atten-
ton of the court for a day and
half, it granted bill to Mrs. Rowell
on the ground alleged by her and
gave her a substantial alimony
and the care and custody of two
minor children.
