¶1You make a case for alimony, hut not for a divorce. The absence has not been long enough to be within the statute — the adultery may be suspected, but is not proven. He is ordered to pay $50 in ten days, for present subsistence and expenses, and $50 every ninety days thereafter, for the support of the complainant and the children, and is enjoined from interfering to control her person or earnings, or with the children, until the further order of the court. The cause is continued.
