Order of Publication

The object of this suit is to
procure a divorce a vinculo
matrimonii from the defendant,
Garth Alan Murray.
The Bill of Complaint alleges
that the plaintiff is a resident
of Montgomery County, Mary

New York.
The Bill also alleges that al
though the conduct of the
plaintiff toward the defendant
has always been that of an
affectionate and devoted wife,
yet, nevertheless, the said de-
PENDANT without just cause or
excuse abandoned and deserted
the plaintiff on or about Sep
TENDER IS, 1857, and that such
abandonment has continued UNI
interruptedly for at least eight
cen months, and is deliberate
and final, and the separation of
the parties is beyond any rea-
sonable expectation of recon-
citation; that no child was born
of the marriage; and that plain
tiff desires restoration of her
maiden name, namely, Jane
Florence Robens.
1t Is thereupon, this 25th day
of February, 1860, by the Cir
cult Court for Montgomery
County, Maryland, sitting as a
Court of Equity,

prior to the said 29th day of
April, 1860.
