Grubb v. Grubb

Opinion of the Court

The Court.

The husband would be entitled to all the proper issues from the wife’s lands during the marriage; but if he has, since the filing the petition, wantonly wasted the inheritance, the court cannot restore her to all her lands and make a “reasonable allowance out •of the husband’s real and personal estate” without inquiring into and ¡compensating her for this destruction.

Testimony admitted but confined to waste done since the petition was filed.

Decree of Divorce.
