Opinion
Submitted October term, 1934.
Decided January 10th, 1935.
Evidence held, to establish abandonment of the wife by the husband under circumstances entitling her to separate maintenance.
On appeal from a decree of the court of chancery, whose opinion is reported in 12 N.J. Mis. R. 575.
Mr. Francis A. Gordon and Mr. John M. Mackenzie, for the appellant.
Mr. Merritt Lane, for the respondent.
We concur in the conclusion of the advisory master that the evidence establishes an abandonment of respondent by appellant under circumstances entitling her to separate maintenance. The allegation, made by appellant, that respondent has been guilty of a willful, continued and obstinate desertion, is not sustained by the proofs.
The decree is affirmed.
