WILHELM, Respondent, v. WILHELM et al., Appellants.
    (Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Fourth Department.
    April 30, 1901.)
    Action by Carlo Wilhelm against Emil Wilhelm and another.
   PER CTJRIAM.

Affirmed, with $10 costs and disbursements.

LAUGHLIN, J. (dissenting).

Here the wife is not involuntarily compelled to litigate. She herself brings the action, and for relief purely, statutory and unknown to the common law. Neither the statute nor the common law authorizes the allowance of alimony in an action by the wife to annul a subsequent marriage of her husband.
