Joseph W. Magee seeks a divorce from his wife Margaret, charging that Margaret has been "too intimate with other men and was guilty of adultery with them." Joseph continues by stating that Margaret has "visited houses of ill fame, known brothels, and has also been on terms of great intimacy with common strumpets." Joseph also seeks custody of five-year-old Henry James and eighteen-month-old Joseph. Depositions reveal that Margaret committed adultery at the house of Eliza Gallee, a free woman of color.
