Syllabus

<p>Divorce — Libel by husband — Counsel fees for wife.</p> <p>The appellate court will increase the counsel fees allowed to a wife in a divorce proceeding instituted by the husband from $200 to $500, where it appears that the husband is of sufficient ability to pay a proper allowance, and the record shows that the allowance by the court below was inadequate. In such a ease it is immaterial that the wife had considerable means of her own, and that she had been the recipient of large sums of money from her husband during the year preceding the date of the decree for divorce.</p>
