P. A. Hollingsworth, Justice, dissenting. The record in this case shows the alienation between the Appellee and her former husband was of long duration. It is apparent that an encounter between Appellee, Appellee’s husband and Appellant at the motor freight terminal in 1973 was the first disclosure to Appellee of any alienation of affection. The cause of action, if any existed, accrued at that time. Section 37-201 provides that a cause of action for alienation of affections shall be commenced one year after the cause of action shall accrue, and not thereafter. I would reverse and dismiss. Adkisson, C.J., joins in this dissent.
