1. ““In this case the desertion by plaintiff began before she started her action for a separation. Her continued living apart from her husband is not fairly referable to the fact that this action was pending. There would have been nothing improper in plaintiff returning to defendant in spite of the pendency of her action, which the court found had no merit. The commencement of this action by her after she had deserted defendant in no way excuses or gives an innocent character to her continued desertion. The present case is fairly distinguishable from the Hurning Case [ 80 Minn. 373 , 83 N. W. 342 ], and comes within the reasoning of the opinion in the Wagner Case. We have, too, the consent by plaintiff to the amendment charging her with desertion, and the litigation of the issue by consent.” See, also, Wagner v. Wagner, 39 Minn. 394 , 40 N. W. 360 .”
