¶1While it may seem harsh to refuse the libelant a divorce, we are clearly of opinion that he has not made out a case within the act of assembly. The learned judge of the court below has given sufficient reasons for his decree, which render a discussion of the case here unnecessary.
¶2The decree is affirmed, and the appeal dismissed at the costs of the appellant.
