John King contends that while he was working in Pikeville, his wife, Sally "went off with one Leonard Sexton a half-Negro and lived in adultery in the basest manner." Sally returned "after her base and unpardonable actions." She left again with Sexton after having his child. Sally, Sexton, and the baby have gone to the state of Virginia. King seeks a divorce, "restoring him from all obligations of so debased a woman and reinstating him to all the privileges of an unmarried man."
Result: Granted.
