Gen. No. 5,936.
(Not to be reported in full.)
Abstract of the Decision.
1. Husband and wife, § 267 * —when decree for separate maintenance will not be disturbed. Where a decree for separate maintenance is entered upon conflicting evidence, it will not be disturbed on review, if there is sufficient evidence to support complainant’s contention.
2. Husband and wife, § 249*—solicitors’ fees not excessive. An allowance of fifty dollars for solicitors’ fees in an action for separate maintenance is held not to be excessive, there being no question as-to the court’s right to make such an allowance.

Mr. Justice Dibell
delivered the opinion of the court.
*2163. Ne exeat, § 8*—when objection to power of court to issue not preserved for review. Where an appeal bond does not recite an appeal from a distinct order for a writ of ne exeat, which was not questioned in the trial court, the question whether the issuance of such a writ was beyond the powers of the court because not within the letter of the statute was not saved for review.
Whitney, J., took no part in this decision.
