V. Hubert Dénisse seeks a divorce from his wife Eugénie Duenrabe. Dénisse represents that Eugénie, who has never “conducted herself with decency and propriety,” left the “matrimonial domicile” in 1837 or 1838, and stole away in the dead of the night with a man of color. He contends that she has since been living in Mobile in a state of “concubinage” with the said man of color. Dénisse claims that he has invited Eugénie to return to him, but she has refused. He therefore asks for a separation of bed and board, followed by a divorce.
Result: Granted.
