Jackson & Co. v. Rainey
Jackson & Co. v. Rainey
Opinion of the Court
The complainant either has or has not the dower right in the dwelling of her late husband, which she alleges in her bill. If, under the special circumstances, she has not the right, she is not entitled to any injunction ; and if she has the right, she needs none. The Code, in section 1768, provides “that the widow is entitled to the possession of the dwelling-house from the death of her husband, and before dower is assigned.” The complainant has possession, and if her theory of her rights be correct, she need not care whether the sheriff sells the property as that of her deceased
Judgment reversed.
