Sarah H. Robinson seeks a divorce from her husband Samuel. She claims that her husband's conduct included "almost constant and habitual intoxication" and the "indolence and neglect of his family." Robinson further reveals that her husband exhibited a "tyrannical demeanor" toward her and her child and constantly threatened personal violence. Since their separation, Samuel has lived in adultery with a woman of "ill fame." In a related document, the jury found that Samuel has "notoriously lived in habits of illicit intercourse, with lewd women, both white and black, and had children by them."
