Full Opinion (277 characters)
Rush, Justice. I think it would be most convenient to give notice, that between two specific dates, acts of cruelty, &c., were intended to be proved. The Court seemed to adopt that idea, and recommended it for the future practice of the bar. See Garrat v. Garrat, 4 Yeates 244.
