Syllabus

<p>Divorce. Sufficiency of Libel.—The court has power to pass upon the sufficiency of a libel for divorce, both as to its form and as to its particularity.</p> <p>Same.—Where the co-respondent and the places are set forth with particularity it is a sufficient specification of the time of the act, if the year be named.</p> <p>Same. Time for Objections to Libel.—The time to object to the want of sufficiency for either of the above causes is before the case is committed to the Commissioner and before answer filed.</p> <p>Same. Practice.—The particular mode in which this shall be done where the libel is insufficient in the judgment of the court, (whether by a bill of particulars or whether the party be required to particularize by way of amendment) is more a matter of form than otherwise.</p> <p>Divorce. Alimony.—The recognized limitation of the Superior Court in allowance for alimony in divorce cases is one hundred dollars per month.</p> <p>Same.—Fifteen hundred dollars under the practice in this State is the extent to which the Court will go in an allowance for a sum necessary for a wife to defray the expenses of her suit, but this does not prevent an application for an enlargement of said sum if the necessities of the case should become manifest.</p>
