Head Matter:
* Asa Hopkins, Libellant, versus Roxana Hopkins.
The Court will not sustain a libel for a divorce, when it appears that the parties lived in another state at the time of the adultery committed, and that the libellant has smee removed into this state.
This was a libel similar to the preceding. The adultery ivas alleged to have been committed at Homer, in the state of New York, and that appeared to have been the settled place of abode oi "the parties at the time. The libellant has since removed into this county.

Opinion:
Parker, J.
I consider this point as settled by the decision in the case of Richardson vs. Richardson . That determination ivas made upon sufficient deliberation. There certainly is no inducement to increase the facility of procuring divorces. I am for dismissing the libel.
