Kerrigan, J.
June 15, 1906, plaintiff commenced an action for divorce.

When the complaint was filed a restraining .order was issued, directed to the Phoenix Insurance Company of London. This company had issued a policy of insurance for $1,500, covering property of the plaintiff and defendant, which property had been destroyed by fire April 10, 1906. This cause was tried August 20, 1906, and after the plaintiff had introduced her testimony the court granted defendant’s motion for a nonsuit. This order was entered upon the minutes on August 20, 1906, and on the same day entered on the register of actions in the office of the county clerk. The court stated at the time the motion for a nonsuit was granted that the restraining order, under which the money due on the insurance policy was being held, would not be released, as the court had previously agreed to make provision for the payment of plaintiff’s counsel fee out of said money, and that it would, at a later date, entertain a motion to make provision for the support of plaintiff and her minor daughter.…
