102 HEWITT v, HEWITT.

10th October, 1825.—BLAND, Chancellor.—This cause standing
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, payable half
yearly; that is to say, one hundred and seventy-five dollars 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 suita-
ble alimony, having regard to the circumstances of the parties
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 parties, or either of them, for such
variation or modification of this decree as those future circum-
stances may indicate to be just. And it is further ordered, that
the defendant pay all costs to be taxed by the register.

The plaintiff, by her petition, stated, that she still continued to
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, &c.

15th May, 1826.—BLAND, Chancellor.—Ordered, that Eli Hewitt
pay unto Martha Hewitt, the sum of one hundred and seventy-five
dollars with interest thereon, being the amount which became due
on the 10th of April last, of the sum allowed her as alimony; or
shew good cause to the contrary, on the 15th day of June next;

complainant for her maintenance, one hundred pounds weight of tobacco per
month, until answer and further order. And also ordered, that attachment issue
for want of an answer.

After which, upon further proceedings being had, and on the case being brought
before the court for final hearing:

5th December, 1732.—OGLE, Chancellor.—Upon reading the bill and answer, and
all other the proceedings in this cause, and upon mature consideration thereupon
had; it is ordered, adjudged, and decreed, that the defendant pay to the complainant
for her yearly maintenance, the quantity of twelve hundred pounds of tobacco, upon
the tenth day of June yearly.--Chancery Records. Lib. No. 2, page 74, 264.
