Opinion of the Court

BY THE COURT.

It seems that this defendant has abandoned his family and character, and taken up with the strumpet, Mrs. Kimberly ; and although we have no direct or positive evidence of adultery, we have that which leaves no doubt of his guilt. His conduct *cannot be reconciled with innocence. We decree a [149 divorce, and that the defendant pay the complainant $500 for alimony, and the costs; and in default, that she have execution for the amount, with interest.
