Appeal in Chancery from Macomb Circuit. The complainant filed her bill for a divorce, on the ground of cruelty. The Circuit Court, in August, 1867, awarded a limited divorce for one year only, with an allowance, by way of alimony of two hundred and fifty dollars. The defendant appealed.

Decided 1869-05-11

¶1Tbe court, after looking into tbe affidavits and tbe record — which was quite voluminous — being satisfied that if tbe case proceeded, an allowance ought to be made to complainant considerably exceeding tbe amount of tbe alimony allowed by tbe court below, and which was the only remaining subject of litigation, refused to retain tbe case in court, and dismissed it with one hundred dollars costs to complainant.
