McEwen v. McEwen, 10 N.J. Eq. 286 (N.J. Ct. App. 1854).

Opinion

The Ohancelloe.

I think it would be improper to make the order. It would he made against a party who has been declared a lunatic by this court. The order implies a default and neglect of a moral obligation on the part of the defendant. This ought not to he imputed to a lunatic. The embarrassment in enforcing such an order is also an objection to making it.

The motion is denied.
