BAYLY.VS. BAYLY. 327
ecutrix always conducted herself as a faithful and obedient wife ;
but she charges, that her husband, soon after her marriage, com-
menced, towards her, a course of excessively vicious conduct
and cruel treatment, and has ever since, continued to ill treat
and cruelly use her; that his conduct has been so violent, as
to cause her to entertain serious fears for her personal safety.
That in December last, she removed with her husband, to the
city of Baltimore, and that since said removal, her husband has
several times left and abandoned her, for several weeks at a
time; and has often told her he would altogether abandon her,
and would not contribute to her maintenance, assigning no
other reason, than that he could not support the thought of being
bound to one person for life. She farther complains, that her
said husband, has now abandoned her altogether, and left her

diction of this court, and for general relief.
The complainant made oath to the truth of the matters charged
in this bill, and on the same day on which it was filed, the writ

he shall give a bond, with securities, to be approved by the
sheriff, in a penalty of $5,000, conditioned to abide by, and
conform to all decrees, which the court may pass in the cause.
The defendant was taken under this writ, and being in the
custody of the sheriff, he made oath on the 13th of May, 1847,
that he is now, and always has been, ,a resident of Dorchester
county, in this state, and was so, at the time of the filing of
this bill against him; and that he has, and has had, no intention
