Syllabus

<p>Divorce—Alimony—Equity—Order after Judgment—Appeal—Jurisdiction.—The supreme court has appellate jurisdiction over all questions arising in an action for divorce, on the ground that it is a case in equity, regardless of the amount involved; and it has jurisdiction of an appeal from a special order made after final judgment in favor of the plaintiff requiring the defendant to pay counsel fees and costs to enable the plaintiff to contest the defendant’s motion for a new trial in the superior court, though the amount involved in such appeal is less than three hundred dollars.</p> <p>Id.—Dismissal of Appeal—Case Overruled.—The case of Zangan v. Zangan, 83 Oal. 618, as to the dismissal of an appeal from an order allowing less than three hundred dollars as counsel fees, in an action of divorce, is overruled.</p> <p>Id.—Money Involved in Order Made after Judgment—Case Limited. The amount of money involved in an order made after judgment is not a test of the jurisdiction of the court over an appeal therefrom. Fairbanks v. Zampkin, 99 Cal. 429, limited, so far as holding to the contrary.</p>
