    The judge accepted the petitioner's credible evidence of repeated physical assaults, excessive sexual demands and chronic failure to maintain, concluded the matrimonial bond had irretrievably broken down and that the respondent's conduct amounted to legal cruelty, and therefore granted a decree nisi dissolving the marriage to be made absolute in three months; custody and maintenance were adjourned for further inquiry into the children's welfare.
