¶1 The single issue submitted to the jury was, “Did the petitioner abandon his wife, the intestate, as alleged?” And the only question presented for our consideration is, whether there was any evidence to sustain the affirmative finding of the jury.
¶2 It is true, as is contended by the counsel for the plaintiff, that if the wife left her husband voluntarily, there could be no abandonment by him, but if, in the language of his Honor, “he made her leave, or so failed to provide for her support that she was compelled to leave, in order to provide for herself and family,” this would, in our opinion, be an abandonment by him. Levering v. Levering, 16 Md., 219.
¶3 One of the witnesses testified, without objection, that he visited the family very often, and that, from what he saw there, the wife left the husband “because he would not give her anything to eat.” Surely this was testimony to warrant the charge of the Court.
¶4*72 There was other testimony tending to sustain the statement of the witness, and, the jury having passed upon it, we have no authority to disturb their verdict. It is only where there is no testimony that this Court interferes.
¶5 No error.
