New York Court of Appeals
Frances S. Walker, Respondent v. Frank B. Walker, Appellant
March 1, 1898155 N.Y. 77
Summary
The New York Court of Appeals held that the 1894 and 1895 amendments to Code of Civil Procedure §§ 1759 and 1771 were prospective only and therefore did not give the court authority to increase the alimony awarded in a divorce judgment entered in 1891; the order increasing alimony was reversed.
