Duncan, J.,
dissenting: Since the phrase “living apart” appears in section 33, chapter 339, Revised Laws, which had the same origin as section 19, chapter 359, Revised Laws, I think it improbable that the words were intended to be used in the sense attributed to them by the majority opinion (Cf. Trow v. Trow, 95 N. H. 529, 530; R. L., c. 7, ss. 1, 2), which would not distinguish them from the language of abandonment and refusal to cohabit (R. L., c. 339, s. 6 IX) the meaning of which had already been established by Brown v. Brown, 78 N. H. 337.
