Jackson  v.  Jackson

MR. JUSTICE DAVIS dissenting.

I agree to the legal propositions advanced by the court; but, in my opinion, the evidence in this case does not warrant the application that has been made of them.

It would serve no useful purpose to discuss the evidence, in order to show that it is so; and I shall, therefore, content myself with saying, that it justified the conclusion reached by the court below, that the property should be divided between the parties. As the appeal only brought up the question of property rights, I am not at liberty to consider the merits of the decree for divorce.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it is a work of the United States federal government (see 17 U.S.C. 105).
