      Abstract of the Decision.
    1. Divobcb, § 142
      
       — when defendant not prosecuting appeal required to pay solicitors’ fees for defending appeal. The nonprosecution of an appeal taken by and allowed a defendant in a divorce case will not relieve him from the payment of solicitors’ fees allowed complainant to defend such appeal, his proper course being to withdraw his appeal before the chancellor and to move for the vacation of the order allowing such fees.
    2. Divobcb, § 143* — who may have allowance of solicitors’ fees. The allowance of solicitors’ fees in a divorce suit must be made to the wife and not to her solicitors. Following Heizer v. Heizer, ante, p. 126.
    No appearance for defendants in error.
