Opinion
Decided January 12th, 1921.
Divorce — Adultery — Costs.
In a divorce court the question of the imposition of costs is largely in the discretion of the trial court, and the appellate court will intervene only in the case of a manifest injustice involving an abuse of discretion, or a departure from the rule which places the costs on the husband, as being to some extent in the category of necessities.
