Opinion of the Court

Cooper, J.,

delivered the opinion of the court.

By the conveyance to the trustee there was limited a use to Sarah B. Sudduth and the heirs of her body, to be begotten by her then husband, the grantor. This, under the statute de donis, would have been a fee tail, and by our statute is converted into a fee simple. McKenzie v. Jones, 39 Miss. 360.

The decree is affirmed.
