From Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) [bouvier]:

  COHABITATION. Living together. 
       2. The law presumes that husband and wife cohabit, even after a 
  voluntary separation has taken place between them; but where there has been 
  a divorce a mensa et thoro, or a sentence of separation, the presumption 
  then arises that they have obeyed the sentence or decree, and do not live 
  together. 
       3. A criminal cohabitation will not be presumed by the proof of a 
  single act of criminal intercourse between a man and woman not married. 10 
  Mass. R. 153. 
       4. When a woman is proved to cohabit with a man and to assume his name 
  with his consent, he will generally be responsible for her debts as if she 
  had been his wife; 2 Esp. R. 637; 1 Campb. R. 245; this being presumptive 
  evidence of marriage; B. N. P. 114; but this liability will continue only 
  while they live together, unless she is actually his were. 4 Campb. R. 215. 
       5. In civil actions for criminal conversation with the plaintiff's 
  wife, after the husband and wife have separated, the plaintiff will not in 
  general be entitled to recover. 1 Esp. R. 16; S. C. 5 T. R. 357; Peake's 
  Cas. 7, 39; sed vide 6 East, 248; 4 Esp. 39.
