Y. Supp. 578 ); or where the wife has been abandoned by the husband (Shute v. Sargent, 67 N. H. 805 , 36 Atl. 282 ); or for purposes of divorce (Ditson v. Ditson, 4 It. I. 87); or, in short, whenever the wife has adversary interests to those of her husband,—she cannot acquire such a domicile so long as the unity of the marriage relation continues; notwithstanding that from considerations of health, as in the present case, or of expediency, one of the parties, with the consent of the other, is actually living in a different place from the other.””
