Martin v. Martin
Martin v. Martin
6 Watts 67
Martin v. Martin
Opinion of the Court
The rule that general legacies bear interest from the time when they are payable, may be relaxed in favour of, but not against a legatee. A child unprovided for, is allowed interest from the time of the death; but the same favour is not shown to the widow. But nothing can postpone the accruing of interest to a period later, than the time of payment appointed by the testator.
Judgment affirmed.
