<p>Divorce a mensa et thoro — Alimony — Security — Act of April 15,1815, P. L. 155.</p> <p>Under the Act of April 15, 1845, P. L. 455, a decree for alimony creates a lien upon the real estate of the respondent, and if the court is of opinion that such lien is not sufficient security for payment of the alimony, additional security may he required. Where, upon ordering payment of alimony, the court below refused to require additional security from a respondent, who owned valuable interests in real estate, it is to be assumed that the court was satisfied that the lien given by the act was sufficient. The Superior Court will not interfere with the performance of the judicial duty in the court below, in the absence of evidence that it abused its discretion.</p>
