Thompson v. Thompson

2 U.S. 128

Opinion

The Court

inclined to think, that even after sentence, the mere offer of the husband would not, in all cases, be a cause for suspending it; and that the act left them a discretion, upon the offer being made, to hear the wife, and to continue the sentence in full force, if the circumstances of the case required it:

(a) But they were clearly of opinion, that the defendant’s answer was insufficient, and thereupon decreed a divorce from bed and board. As to Alimony, the defendant not being prepared up that point.

Curia advisare vult.
