Warner, J.

The Court Below erred in deciding that the widow was barred of her right to dower in the lands of her deceased husband, on the statement of facts disclosed in the record of this case. To bar the widow’s legal right to dower her relinquishment of that right must be made in the manner prescribed by law.

Let the judgment of the Court below be reversed.
