* BLAND, C., 10th October, 1825.—This cause standing
102 ready for hearing, and being submitted, the proceedings
were read and considered.

Whereupon it is decreed, that the defendant, Eli Hewitt, pay
unto the plaintiff, Martha Hewitt, or to her order, during their
natural lives, so long as they shall live separate and apart from
each other, the annual sum of three hundred and fifty dollars, pay-
able half yearly: that is to say, one hundred and seventy-five dol-
lars on the tenth day of April, and one hundred and seventy-five
dollars on the tenth day of October in every year: the first payment
to be made on the tenth day of April next; the same being deemed
a suitable alimony, having regard to the circumstances of the par-
ties respectively, for her support and maintenance. And in case
it should not be punctually paid when demanded, the plaintiff may

apply to this Court to have the payment enforced. And it is further
ordered, that either party be at liberty to apply, upon any future
change of circumstances of the parries, or either of them, for such
variation or modification of this decree as those future circum-
stances may indicate to be jnst. And it is further ordered, that
the defendant pay all costs to be taxed by the register.

live separate and apart from her husband; that by the decree in
this case she had become entitled to the sum of $175, on the 10th
of April last, which sum the defendant had neglected and refused
to pay: whereupon she prayed, that he might be ordered to pay,

said complainant, all her costs and charges by her in the said cause laid out
and expended.—Chancery Records Lib. I. It.. No. 1, pages 275, 280.
