Bates v. Cotton
Bates v. Cotton
32 Miss. 266
Bates v. Cotton
Opinion of the Court
That all the children of the wife, though born of different marriages, are entitled to succeed to her separate estate, held under the Act of 1839, was settled in the case of Marshall v. King, 24 Miss. R. 90. We have seen no reason since to change the opinion then expressed.
The decree is affirmed and the cause remanded, with leave to defendants to answer within sixty days.
