¶1— Suit by Eliza W. Bratton against her husband, John N. Bratton, for divorce, alleging cruel and inhuman treatment and abandonment.
¶2On the day on which the summons was made returnable, the defendant entered a special appearance, and moved to set aside the service of and quash the summons, but his motion *589was overruled. He then moved for a continuance of the ■cause, but that motion was also denied. Eor some cause, however, not explained by anything contained in the record, the cause was afterwards continued until another term.
¶3At the hearing the court made a finding for the plaintiff, ■and, over a motion for a new trial, entered a decree for a •divorce, allowing the plaintiff a small sum of money for alimony.
¶4The first question made here is upon the refusal of the court ■to set aside the service of the summons and to quash the writ.
¶5The record does not show upon what alleged state of facts that motion was based. If, as stated in the appellant’s brief, it was because the summons was not served ten days before the ■first day of the term of court, as was required by section 13 •of the act concerning divorces, then supposed to be in force, that was a cause for a continuance merely, provided that objection wás well taken, a question we need not now decide.
¶6The next question made here is upon the overruling of the motion for a new trial.
¶7.The refusal of the court to grant a continuance was not assigned as a cause for a new trial. Consequently, no question upon that refusal arises in this court. Besides, there is nothing to show that the appellant was injured by the denial of his motion, as the cause was afterwards continued until another term.
¶8It is insisted that the finding of the court was not sustained by sufficient evidence.
¶9The evidence did not make out a strong case for a divorce, and we are inclined to the opinion that the court might, with propriety, have refused to divorce the parties upon it. But there was evidence tending to sustain some of the most material allegations in the complaint, and, upon a full examination of all the evidence, we have come to the conclusion that the judgment below ought to be affirmed.
¶10The judgment belpw is affirmed, with costs.
¶11Petition for a rehearing overruled.
