the terms of the order, or of any subsequent modification
thereof, then the recognizance shall be void, otherwise of
full force and effect. If the Court be satisfied by infor-

case of forfeiture of a recognizance and enforcement there-
of by execution, the sum recovered may, in the discretion
of the Court, be paid in whole or in part to the wife. Pro-

County to try persons violating the provisions of this sub-
