344 HIGH COURT OF CHANCERY.
of January, 1851, filed her petition for alimony, pendente lite,
and for an allowance of money to prosecute the suit, in which
she states, that on the 5th of September, 1850, she gave birth to
a male infant, the issue of her said marriage, which is yet alive
and nurtured by her. That she has lived apart from her said hus-
band for more that eleven months, during a part of which time
she was seriously ill, and throughout the whole period has been,
and is, in delicate health, that she has been unable to do any
thing towards her own support, or that of her infant, since its
birth. That during all said period of separation from her hus-
band, she has remained in the home, and under the protection,
and at, the charge of her mother, whose circumstances are limit-

an order was passed, granting leave to either party to take de-

testimony was taken, the purport of which is stated in the
opinion.
On the 13th of February, 1851, the defendant filed his answer
to this petition, in which he states, that his wife's patrimony
was $300, which was invested in the hands of her brothers,
none of which has he ever touched, and that she still has it in
her possession, or is yet to receive it, and if it can be so done,
respondent would wish it may be invested for her separate use, at
least so much of it as may remain, after paying the costs on his
