Steele v. Steele

​

Steele versus Steele.

THIS was an issue joined on the facts alledged in a libel for a divorce; and, upon the trial, the Chief Justice observed, that notice ought to be given of the facts intended to be proved under the general allegations of the libel.

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.
