    Waltz v. Waltz.
    If an applicant for divorce has been a Iona fide resident of the State for one year before filing his petition, and is a bona fide resident at the time of such filing, non-residence at the time of trial, will not divest the jurisdiction of the Court.
    A TP &1AL from the Bartholomew Circuit Court.
    
      
      B. Hill, for the appellant.
   Hanna, J.

The only question in this case is, whether an applicant for divorce must not only be a resident in good faith of the county at the time the application for divorce is instituted, but also at the time of the trial.

The statute is as follows: “ Divorces may be decreed by the Circuit Courts of this State, on petition filed by any person who, at the time of the filing.of such petition, shall have been a bona fide resideut of the State one year previous to the filing of the same, and a resident of the county at the time of the filing such petition.” Acts 1859, 108.

We suppose this statute does not admit of any interpretation different from its literal reading; that if the applicant was in good faith a resident, at the time named, non-residence at the time of trial would not prevent the Court from acting in the premises.

Per Curiam.

The judgment is reversed, with costs. Cause remanded.
