Head Matter:
ELIZABETH CONN v. EDWARD CONN.
Divorce — requisites of petition — extreme cruelty.
The petition for divorce for extreme cruelty, should specify some acts of cruelty, that the defendant may know what he is to meet.
Extreme cruelty is personal violence.
Divorce. The bill charged that the defendant treated the petitioner with extreme cruelty, till she was obliged to leave him.
Fox for the petitioner.

Opinion:
LANE, J.
Under the existing law you cannot get along with this, if the petition sets forth no act of cruelty. Extreme cruelty as uniformly determined under the law, consists of acts of personal violence, and some acts should be stated that the defendant may know what to answer.
The bill is dismissed without prejudice.
