Supreme Court of Pennsylvania · Decided May 21, 1849 · Rosees
10 Pa. 348; 1849 Pa. LEXIS 224

Fisher v. Strickler

Opinion of the Court

Rosees, J.

After a careful examination of the authorities cited, we concur in the opinion that this is a covenant to stand seised to uses. The judgment is therefore affirmed, for the reasons given by Judge Hayes. We perceive nothing in the contract, as contended, in conflict with the law or policy of this state, either as it affects the collateral inheritance tax, or the dower of any future wife.

Judgment affirmed.
