BRICK v. BRICK.

Supreme Court of Michigan

February 15, 1887

Appeal from superior court of Detroit. In chancery.

Peter E. Park, for complainant.

M.B. Breitenbach, for defendant and appellant.

CHAMPLIN, J.

In this case a decree was granted dissolving the marriage between the parties, and awarding alimony in gross to complainant. Defendant appeals from this decree, and complains especially of that part respecting alimony. It appears from the printed record that the decree below was entered by the consent of defendant by his solicitor. Such a decree is binding upon the parties, unless impeached for fraud or mistake, and no such claim is advanced on this appeal. It follows that the decree must be affirmed. As the complainant has filed no brief, costs will not be awarded.

(The other justices concurred.)
