Side 38 - What merely wounds the mental feelings is in few cases to be admitted, where they are not accompanied with bodily injury, either actual or menaced. Mere austerity of temper, petulance of manners, rudeness of language, a want of civil attention and accommodation, even occasional sallies of passion, if they do not threaten bodily harm, do not amount to legal cruelty...
Side 38 - Under such misconduct of either of the parties, for it may exist on the one side as well as on the other, the suffering party must bear in some degree the consequences of an injudicious connection ; must subdue, by decent resistance or by prudent conciliation ; and if this cannot be done, both must suffer in silence.
Side 12 - bride then drink of the wine ; after which the ' bridegroom takes the ring, and puts it on the ' bride's finger; saying, ' Behold thou art wedded ' to me with this ring, according to the law of * Moses and Israel.

Side 37 - ... pass through the world with mutual comfort — with attention to their common offspring, and to the moral order of civil society, might have been at this moment living in a state of mutual unkindness — in a state of estrangement from their common offspring, and in a state of the most licentious and unreserved immorality. In this case, as in many others, the happiness of some individuals must be sacrificed to the greater and more general good.
Side 40 - ... upon which the court has proceeded to a separation. This doctrine has been repeatedly applied by the court in the cases that have been cited.
