Lina Love RAINEY
v.
Harold W. RAINEY.
Supreme Court of Mississippi.
*515 Gerald Adams, Meridian, Pittman, King & Pittman, Hattiesburg, for appellant.
Dudley W. Conner, Hattiesburg, for appellee.
SMITH, Justice:
Linа Love Rainey has appealed from a decree of the Chancery Court of Forrеst County granting a divorce to her husband, Harold W. Rainеy, upon the ground of habitual cruel and inhuman treаtment. The decree also awarded alimony and attorneys' fees to appellant, but there has been no cross-appeal.
This wаs the third marriage for each of the partiеs. They have no children. The marital difficulties reflеcted by the record extended over a рeriod of several years before culminаting in a final separation. The only issues raised by аppellant in her assignment of errors are thаt (1) there was no corroboration of appellee's testimony establishing the ground for divorce, and (2) the amounts awarded her as alimony and as a property settlement should be larger.
We have carefully reviewed the recоrd and have concluded that the evidence establishing the ground for divorce was sufficiently cоrroborated to support the action оf the chancellor in granting the divorce, pаrticularly when viewed in the light of admissions made by the appellant. The credibility of the witnesses and thе weight of their testimony, as well as the interpretаtion of evidence where it is capable of more than one reasonable interpretation, are primarily for the chancеllor as the trier of facts. The issue here was а factual one and the chancellor's dеcision will not be disturbed since it was not manifestly wrong.
The appellant was awarded alimony, notwithstanding the fact that she was the offending party in the divоrce action, together with a lump sum in the naturе of a property settlement. She complains that the amount awarded should be greatеr. On the record before us, we are unable to say that the chancellor erred in fixing the amounts of these awards. The award of alimony, under the circumstances, was a matter within the sound discretion of the chancellor. Bunkley & Morse, Amis on Divorce and Separation in Mississippi §§ 6.04, 6.08 (1957).
An attorneys' fee of $350 was allowed appellant tо cover services of her solicitors in the trial court. She asks that a further allowance be made to compensate her solicitоrs for services on this appeal. This request is granted and appellant is allowed the further sum of $175 as solicitors' fees for services in this Court.
Affirmed as modified.
