Head Matter:
*ANNE McINTYRE v. ORINDA McINTYRE.
Divorce — two years’ residence — non resident.
A petitioner for a divorce must reside in the state where the petition is filed, and have so resided for two years before.
Divorce. The petition was filed in August, 1830 — the cause, wilful absence.
Hubbard offered evidence that the petitioner was a boatman in 1828, and was principally upon the river.
When up, he was occa- ■ sionally at Bridgeport, in this county, at boarding. He removed into Virginia, but came over a short time on account of some difficulty; but his place of residence in 1830, when the petition was. filed, was in Virginia.

Opinion:
BY THE COURT.
You cannot proceed. The petitioner was not a resident of Ohio when he commenced his proceedings, and had not resided in the state two years before; both of which the law requires.
Bill dismissed.
