O’NIELL, J.

¶1[1, 2] The defendant appeals from a judgment of separation granting his *877wife the custody and control of their minor children. The judgment is supported by un-contradicted evidence, making absolute proof, that the defendant defamed his wife and treated her so cruelly that her living with him became intolerable. No argument has been made, or reason advanced, for annulling the decree.

¶2The judgment appealed from is affirmed at appellant’s cost.
