De Rose v. De Rose
1 Hopk. Ch. 100 | New York Court of Chancery | 1824
No costs are allowed in this case. In the converse case of a bill by the wife, against the husband, costs may be allowed. But where the wife is defendant, she is presumed to be left destitute of means to pay costs ; and it seems cruel to give them against her, though the offending party. If it appeared that she had separate property, the case might be different.
