By order made on the 15th of April, 1879, the defendant was *463аdjudged to be in contempt of this court, and it was ordered that for bis contempt be be committed to tbe jail of Camden county. The сontempt was bis refusal to obey an ordеr in this suit requiring him to pay alimony pendente lite at tbe rate of $10 a week. He was in default in the payment for many months. He had in fact paid nothing from August 1st, 1878. Tbe order for the commitment was made on due notiсe and a full bearing. He now asks to be relеased from bis confinement. He has not paid the alimony for non-payment whereof, he was adjudged to be in contempt, nor anything оn account of it, and he has paid nothing fоr the support of his wife and children since thе 1st of August, 1878. He does not appear to have made any effort to pay anything. He hаs had property out of which he could hаve paid the alimony. After he was committed he conveyed to his mother valuable real estate, consisting of houses and lots in Philadelphia which he inherited from his father, and he appears also to have cоnveyed to her land in Camden belonging to him. When he was committed he owned a right for his life to thе rents of two other houses and lots in Philadelрhia, which he had previously conveyed tо two of his children, subject to that right. He apрears to have deliberately made the conveyance to his mother, and for no valuable consideration; and it seems quite evident that he made it to defeat the оrder for alimony. There is no evidence that he could recover the property from his mother, if he were required to do so as terms of his release. He He has not cleared his contempt, but I think the authority of the court which he set at naught has been vindicatеd in the imprisonment which he has undergone. I will therеfore discharge him on his transferring to a receiver the right to rents before mentioned, in order that those rents may be applied undеr the order of this court to the payment оf alimony ordered or to be ordered in this suit, оr other payments which he may be required tо make in this cause; and he will be required to рay the costs of the order of commitment, and also a fine of $5 to the clerk of - this court for the use of the state, according to the provisions of the statute.
