Head Matter:
*MONTGOMERY SMITH v. MELINDA SMITH.
The desire of the parties for a divorce will not be carried into execution by the court.
Divorce. Cause, adultery with R. White. Adultery was sought to be deduced from proof that the defendant with White and others watched with a sick neighbor, and when relieved towards morning, the defendant and White lay down.together on the bed, in the room with the sick man and his wife and the other watchers. The parties are the same as in the last suit.

Opinion:
BY THE COURT.
This evidence does not make out the fact of adultery. The case made shows nothing but the desire of both parties for a divorce. That desire we cannot gratify. Bill dismissed.
