POOLE v. POOLE

Divorce — Cruelty — Unfounded Charge of Adultery.

The fact that the husband from time to time accused the wife of adultery, without the slightest foundation for the accusation, and at the hearing introduced testimony containing insinuations to the same effect, taken in connection with his conduct in constantly quarrelling with her, usually as a consequence of his drinking and sprees, and his insistence on having, without his wife's consent, his relatives to live with them, held to constitute cruelty, justifying a divorce a mensa.

Decided May 17th, 1939.

SLOAN, J., delivered the opinion of the Court.
