On Rehearing.
[En Banc. December 21, 1912.]
Fullerton, J.
After the opinion of November 12, 1912, in this cause directing that the appellant be awarded alimony, suit money, and attorney’s fees, had been filed, a petition for rehearing was presented by the respondent in which the jurisdiction of the court to make the order was suggested. On consultation upon the petition, it was found that differences of opinion existed among the several members of the court as to the court’s jurisdiction, and the cause was set down for further argument at the present session. The question was reargued at the time appointed, and the court is now convinced that it was in error in making the order directed in its former opinion, and in error in making the orders in the cases of Holcomb v. Holcomb, 49 Wash. 498, 95 Pac. 1091; Sullivan v. Sullivan, 49 Wash. 508, 95 Pac. 1095; Gallagher v. Gallagher, 65 Wash. 310, 118 Pac. 4; and in entertaining the petition in Gust v. Gust, 69 Wash. 220, 124 Pac. 504. The reasons which lead us to this conclusion are clearly and fully stated in the dissenting opinion written by the present chief justice in the case of Holcomb v. Holcomb, supra, and we adopt the opinion as the opinion of the court in the present case. The order heretofore entered herein, directing alimony, suit money, and attorney’s fees to be granted is therefore revoked, and the application for the same denied.
Mount, C. J., Chadwick, Morris, Parker, Ellis, and Main, JJ., concur.
