Reversing.
In the case of King v. King,
In determining what fee should be allowed a wife for her attorneys in her divorce or alimony suit, not only must the court consider the character of the services rendered and the amount of work done, but it must also consider the pecuniary ability of the husband to pay. See Purcell v. Purcell,
It is urged, however, that the appeal in the former case precludes the appellant prosecuting this appeal. The judgment appealed from was several in its nature. The present appellees were not parties to the other appeal; hence the former appeal does not preclude this one.
Judgment reversed, with instructions to enter a judgment in behalf of the appellees in the sum of $300.00.
