OPINION

FIELD, J.

We know of no absolute rule of law that the father is entitled to the custody of the children when he obtains a divorce from the bonds of matrimony on the ground of bigamy and adultery committed by the wife. We see no error of law in the exceptions. See Oliver v. Oliver, ante, 51, (Suffolk, April 2, 1890.) Exceptions overruled.
