The petition had not been filed on the same day.
G. S. Van Wagener, for the petitioner, moved for a ne exeat.

Opinion:
The Chancellor.
It would be irregular to grant the ne exeat under these circumstances. There was no cause or proceeding in court respecting the subject of the affidavit made by Romein when it was made. 1 Beat. 327.
The proper course is to file the bill or petition for divorce, and after that to file a petition for the ne exeat, supported by the necessary affidavit, sworn subsequently to the filing of th© bill.
Motion denied.
