Appeal and Error \u00a7 Slf\u2014\nAppellee\u2019s motion to dismiss tbe appeal will be allowed when tbe record contains no assignment of error, Rules of Practice in the Supreme Court, No. 19, sec. 3.\n25. Divorce \u00a7 10 \u2014 Decree of absolute divorce terminates all rights arising out of marriage, including right to alimony.\nTbe husband\u2019s action for divorce on tbe ground of two years separation was consolidated for trial with the wife\u2019s subsequent action for alimony without divorce, O. S., 1667. Tbe decree of divorce was granted in tbe first action and judgment entered against tbe wife in the second action upon tbe verdict of the jury, and tbe wife appealed in both actions. Held: The decree of absolute divorce terminates all the rights arising out of marriage, including the right to alimony, and upon dismissal of tbe appeal from the judgment of divorce, the judgment in tbe action for alimony will \u25a0be affirmed.\nAppeal by Effie Harrison Hobbs from Parker, J., at March Term, 1940, of SampsoN.\nTwo civil actions, for divorce and for alimony without divorce, respectively.\nIn the first action instituted 29 June, 1939, by Samuel H. Hobbs for absolute divorce on the ground of two years separation, tbe defendant, Efiie Harrison Hobbs, in her answer set up a further defense and cross action for alimony without divorce and for an allowance for counsel fees, on the ground of abandonment and failure to support. Plaintiff denied these averments.\nIn the second action, instituted 27 February, 1940, by Effie Harrison Hobbs for alimony without divorce on the ground that her husband had offered such indignities to her person as to render her condition intolerable and life burdensome. The defendant, in his answer, denies that .such ground exists.\nUpon the trial below the two cases were consolidated and tried together, separate issues in each case being submitted to the jury. In the first case the jury answered the issues as to residence, marriage and separation in the affirmative. But in answer to the fourth issue, the jury found that the separation was not caused by \u201cplaintiff willfully .abandoning his wife without providing adequate support\u201d for her. From judgment thereon defendant appeals to Supreme Court.\nIn the second action, the jury answered the issue as to marriage in the .affirmative. But as to the second and third issues, the jury answered that defendant, Samuel ,H- Hobbs, did not offer such indignities to the person of his wife, the plaintiff, as to render her condition intolerable .and life burdensome, and that he did not separate himself from his wife .and fail to provide her with necessary subsistence. From judgment thereon, the plaintiff appealed to Supreme Court, and assigns error.\nJ. D. Johnson, Jr., and P. D. Herring for plaintiff, appellee.\nButler & Butler and E. C. Robinson for defendant, appellant."
