Mr. Bartley, from the standing committee on the Judiciary, to which was recommitted House bill No. 137, to divorce John A.

Ackley from his wife, Caroline Ackley, have had the same under consideration, and now report: The petitioner asks for a divorce on the grounds: ist, Of the immoral and indecent conduct and gross neglect of duty of the said Caroline Ackley; and, 2d, Of adultery; and, 3d, of habitual drunkenness since 1830; The supreme court would grant the petitioner a divorce for either of the causes set forth in the petition. Where the supreme court has clearly jurisdiction, it would be improper for the legislature to interfere for the purpose of granting a divorce. legislature is liable to be imposed upon by ex parte statements. The supreme court can better investigate the facts of a case, where that tribunal has clearly jurisdiction. This petitioner has, as it appears from his petition, lived separate from his said wife since the year 1830, and that since that time the above causes for divorce have existed, and continued to become more aggravated. The circumstance of his having slept under his grievances for eleven or twelve years, and not procured a divorce from the supreme court, gives rise to the suspicion that the ex parte statements of the petitioner may be calculated to mislead the legislature. The committee, therefore, recommend that the bill be indefinitely postponed. |
