Spiller v. . Spiller
Superior Court of North Carolina · Decided April 5, 1797 · PER CURIAM.
2 N.C. 482
Spiller v. . Spiller

Opinion of the Court

We have ordered sequestrations of this kind when we have found the defendant withdrawing his property, or being about to move it and himself to avoid an execution of the decree; but not otherwise. It would be a great stretch of power in this Court to order a sequestration, or a bond for the absolute performance of the decree, whenever a bill is filed against a man by one who claims to be his wife.
