Vantlerpoel, Cuming & Goodwin, (Delos McCurdy, of counsel,) for appellant.
Howe & Hummel, (Austin G. Fox, of counsel,) for respondent.
The allegations in the complaint, if supported by evidence on the trial, will entitle plaintiff to the judgment prayed for. A situation, therefore, was presented on the motion which authorized the court, in the exercise of a proper judicial discretion, to make an allowance for costs and alimony pending the action. The amount awarded was justified, we think, by the affidavits before the court. The order appealed from should be affirmed, with $10 costs and disbursements.
