[No. 208, September Term, 1963.]Court of Appeals of Maryland.
Decided March 5, 1964.
DIVORCE — Absolute — Upon Ground Of Desertion — Properly Denied, Where Complainant’s Testimony Was Not Corroborated — Corroboration Is An Essential Ingredient In Maryland Of Proof Required To Obtain Divorce. p. 55
Decided March 5, 1964.
Appeal from the Circuit Court for Montgomery County (PUGH, J.).
Bill of complaint by Charles J. Rosemund for an absolute divorce from Marjorie Susan Rosemund upon the ground of desertion. From a dismissal of the bill, the complainant appeals.
Affirmed, with costs.
The cause was argued before HENDERSON, HAMMOND, PRESCOTT, HORNEY and MARBURY, JJ.
William A. Volkman, Jr., for the appellant.
No brief and no appearance for the appellee.
PER CURIAM.
After the trial below, the Chancellor dismissed appellant’s bill of complaint, which prayed an absolute divorce on the ground of desertion, for lack of any corroboration of plaintiff’s testimony. It would subserve no good purpose to set forth the evidence adduced, for after a careful consideration thereof, we, too, are unable to discover any corroboration of plaintiff’s accusations, which is an essential ingredient, in Maryland, of the proof required to obtain a divorce.
Decree affirmed, with costs.
