delivered the opinion of the court.
The petition filed by the husband for a divorce from his wife, states as the ground of the divorce, that she, on the 20th of October, 1850, left the plaintiff without any cause whatever on his part; 11 that said Rebecca has been absent from him for more than two years.” Judgment having been given for the plaintiff, the case is brought to this court by appeal, and we examine the petition, to see whether it will support the judgment.
Because the petition is insufficient to support the judgment, the judgment is, with the concurrence of the other judges, reversed, and the cause remanded.
