183 Ill. App. 566
Sarah E. Long, Appellee, v. Hugh H. Long, Appellant.
(Not to he reported in full.)
Abstract of the Decision.
1. Husband and wife, § 219 * —when wife entitled to separate maintenance. In an action for separate maintenance where the bill alleges that the husband left his wife and went to a soldiers’ home and failed to make provision so as to enable her to secure the necessaries of life, evidence held sufficient to show that she was entitled to separate maintenance.
2. Husband and wife, § 243 * —when allowance in separate maintenance not unreasonable. In an action for separate maintenance where husband left the wife and lived at a soldiers’ home, having property valued at five thousand dollars, an allowance of twenty-five dollars a month held reasonable.
3. Appeal and error, § 998 * —when record must preserve documentary evidence denied admission. In a separate maintenance proceeding, the question whether the contents of a bill for divorce was admissible in evidence is not preserved for review when bill is not preserved in the record.
Appeal from the Circuit Court of Perry county; the Hon. George A. Crow, Judge, presiding. Heard in this court at the March term, 1913.
Affirmed.
