““should be jealously enforced by the courts of the country, and there should be more caution and scrutiny of the facts and circumstances in this day of ‘affinities,’ when the barriers of the common law have been destroyed, and husband and wife have been given unbridled license in testifying, against each other in cases of divorce.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““In suits for divorce the same respect is not required for the verdict of a jury as in other cases, and the trial judge in decreeing a divorce does not proceed upon the verdict, but upon his own judgment, and, when the cause reaches this court, it, too, must be convinced that the evidence is ‘full and satisfactory,’ before it will affirm a judgment.””
