The case was one in which Maude "Louise Francis sought such an order from her husfiand, George W. Francis, on the grounds of persistent cruelty. The evidence showed that complainant was of a highly strung nature and had w’orked herself into a state of nervous disorder, which it would take her some time to recover from. She stated that her husband had been inconsiderate and cruel, hut it was stated that firmness had at times been imperative owing to the state of complainant. J'.
