She answereJ, denting the allegation of the petitioner, and filed a cross bill charging him with cruel treatment, etc. The coutt below dismissed the petition, and granted a divorce upon Ibe cioss bill, decreeing Sarah Russell four hundred dollars alimony in lieu of her dower. The only error complained of if in the dcrree of alimony in lieu of dower. The provisions of Ihe present siatute on that subject, (R. S., p. 603, see. 53 l til,) authoiue the couit when a decree is grained for the misconduct of the bii'band, and when the estate biooght by (be wife and lestored to her on the divoiee is not sufficient for her support, to grant such alitnuny out of his estate as shall be just and leaoonable. There is no provision auhoiizio grant of alimony in granted, was entitled to dower, and the decree giving her alimony in lieu of this tlht was erroneous. It is suggested by the counsel for the defendant in erior that the words 44 in lieu of dower," when they occur in the decree, may be regarded as surplusage, but this would.be doing injustice lo the plaintiff in e.ror, as th value of the liht of dower.which the court intended to divest by lbs de ctee, was properly considered iu estimating the amount ptoper to be allowed as alimony.
