In our opinion, the instructions fairly and impartially submit the case to the jury under applicable principles of law.

Heard in the Court of Appeals 14 May 1974.\nOn 3 July 1972, Annie Lee Meeks Brooks instituted an action for alimony without divorce, alleging as grounds for relief that her husband, Marshall Lee Brooks, wilfully abandoned her. While the action for alimony without divorce was pending, on 9 April 1973, Marshall Lee Brooks instituted an action for absolute divorce upon the grounds of one year of separation. The two actions were consolidated for trial. The jury answered issues, including an issue of abandonment, in favor of Annie Lee Meeks Brooks and against Marshall Lee Brooks. Judgment was entered upon the verdict, awarding alimony and counsel fees to Annie Lee Meeks Brooks and dismissing the action by Marshall Lee Brooks for absolute divorce.\nJohnson and Jenkins, by James C.
