In a suit for separation, counsel for the plaintiff pleaded, among other reasons, incompatibility of temperament. Ho depicted the character of the husband as “ brutal, violent, and passionate.” The husband’s advocate then rose in his turn and described the wife as “ spiteful, short-tempered, and sulky.” “Pardon me,” interrupted the judge, addressing both counsel, “ I cannot see, gentlemen, where the incompatibility of temperament comes in.”
