ANNE WILSON v. GEORGE WILSON.
Divorce — polygamy—adultery—injunction pending suit against meddling with the children, or the property in possession of the wife.
A record of the conviction of a man of polygamy in another state, is not proof of adultery of itself, in a divorce case.
*Where the evidence fails and the cause is continued, the court will, in a [139 proper case, enjoin the husband from interfering with the children or property, in the possession of the wife, pending the suit.
Divorce. Causes — 1. Wilful absence. 2. Adultery with Catharine Rogers.
The petitioner relied upon the charge of adultery, and to prove it, offered a record of the conviction of the defendant of having married one Catharine Rogers in Pennsylvania since his marriage with the petitioner, and proof of the identity of the person.

Opinion:
BY THE COURT.
That does not make out the adultery. The crime of adultery would be incomplete, without carnal connection.
We may presume a connection, and it is probable one took place; but we have no proof of it.
Leave was given to amend the petition, and upon application of the ¡>etitioner, the defendant was enjoined from interfering with the custody of the children, or the property in possession of the petitioner, until the final hearing of the case; and the cause was continued.
