Canfield v. Canfield
Michigan Supreme Court · Decided October 11, 1876
34 Mich. 519; 1876 Mich. LEXIS 215
Canfield v. Canfield

Opinion

Divorce: Bill: Adultery: Venereal disease: Extreme cruelly. A bill for divorce, which, in stating a case for divorce on the ground of adultery, avers the contracting by defendant of a venereal disease, will authorize a decree on the ground of extreme cruelty, where the proofs clearly substantiate the fact so averred.

Appeal in Chancery from Wayne Circuit.
