McMullen v. McMullen

Supreme Court of Florida. Division B
Nov 20, 1953
68 So. 2d 179 (Fla. 1953)

Opinion

November 20, 1953.

Appeal from the Circuit Court, Hillsborough County, I.C. Spoto, J.

H.S. Glazier, Tampa, for appellant.

Billie B. Bush, Tampa, for appellee.


We are convinced that there was no evidence to warrant a final decree of divorce and that notwithstanding the lack of exceptions to the master's report the chancellor should have dismissed the cross bill as well as the bill. See Lyon v. Lyon, Fla., 54 So.2d 679.

The decree is reversed with directions to dismiss the cause.

THOMAS, SEBRING, HOBSON, MATHEWS and DREW, JJ., concur.

ROBERTS, C.J., and TERRELL, J., dissent.
