MONTGOMERY SMITH v. MELINDA SMITH.
The desire of the parties for a divorce will not be carried into- execution by the conrtV
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 mornings the defendant and White lay down together on the bed, in the rooms with the sick man and his wife and the o-ther watchers.. The parties are the same as in the last suit.

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.
