Beck v. Beck

Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
Beck v. Beck, 163 Pa. 649 (Pa. 1894)
30 A. 236; 1894 Pa. LEXIS 1228
Dean, Green, Mitchell, Sterbett, Williams

Beck v. Beck

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam,

An examination of this somewhat voluminous record has not-convinced us that either of the specifications of error should be sustained. The testimony bearing on the questions of fact, involved in the issue, was sufficient to justify the learned trial judge in submitting the case to the jury. There was therefore-no error in refusing to charge as requested in appellant’s tenth point, that under all the evidence the verdict must be in her favor. Nor do we think that upon the whole case there was any error in entering the decree complained of in the last specification.

Decree affirmed and appeal dismissed with costs to be paid by appellant.

Syllabus
Practice, G. P.—Jury—Divorce. At the trial of an issue in divorce, it is not improper for the libelant’s counsel to ask the jurymen before they are sworn whether they are conscientiously opposed to the granting of divorces. Divorce—Desertion. A husband has a right to change his home if his business, his comfort, or his convenience requires it, if he provides another suitable place of residence; and if his wife refuses to accompany him to the new home without cause, her refusal constitutes a desertion for which a divorce will be decreed.
