Martin v. Martin

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

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.
