Excerpt from a court case in Michigan Reports 1902 concerning the aftermath of the Alfred Canney-Sophia Canney divorce.
"Alfred Canney and complainant, Sophia Canney, were for many years husband and wife, and, before complainant sued him for divorce, they jointly owned a lot of land in the city of Detroit, - a single - lot, - upon which were two dwelling houses, one of which was rented. Complainant filed a bill of complaint for a divorce. There was a contest, in which Mr. McGrath appeared as the solicitor for Mr. Canney. After a hearing, a decree was granted. In this decree Mrs Canney was required to deed her interest in the real estate to her husband upon his paying her $2,500 within a certain time, and, upon his failure to do so, he was required to deed to her his interest in the houses and lot upon her paying to him $800.00. Mr. Canney did not pay the $2,500, and, before Mrs. Canney paid the $800, she was notified by various parties that they claimed a lien upon the fund. As she did not know to whom to pay the money, this bill was filed. . . . .".
