GEORGE A. WELLS, PLAINTIFF-APPELLANT, v. MATTIE BELLE ROBINSON WELLS, DEFENDANT-RESPONDENT.

Superior Court of New Jersey, Appellate Division.

Decided June 6, 1963.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Mr. William L. Brach argued the cause for appellant (Messrs. Zucker, Brach & Eichler, attorneys).

No appearance for defendant-respondent.

Before Judges CONFORD, GAULKIN and KILKENNY.


The opinion of the court was delivered by CONFORD, S.J.A.D.

This is an uncontested action for divorce on the ground of the defendant's desertion of the plaintiff. Judge Hand, sitting in the Chancery Division, denied relief on the ground of plaintiff's adultery, he having married another woman after his wife left him and cohabited with her continuously up to and at the time of the trial. (For aught we know that cohabitation continues to this day.)
