    George Carter, Libellant, versus Mary Carter.
    The Court will not take cognizance of a libel for a divorce for adultery, where the parties were married in another state, in which also the adultery was' eomniitted, the criminal party still residing in such state.
    This was a libel for a divorce a vinculo for adultery.
    On the hearing, it came out that the parties were married in Philadelphia in 1795, that they resided there several years after the marriage, and that the adultery, and a consequent separation, took place there; some time after which the libellant removed to Boston, where he now resides. The wife has never been within the commonwealth.
   Per Curiam.

The statute gives us no jurisdiction of a case thus circumstanced. The libel must be dismissed.
