Hawkins v. Hall
Hawkins v. Hall
2 S.C.L. 449
Hawkins v. Hall
Opinion of the Court
But the Court refused the motion, observing, that whenever it appeared from the return of the commissioners themselves that they had given a widow more than she was entitled to, the proceedings ought to be set aside ; for although the claim of a widow’s dower is highly favoured in law, yet there are other parties whose interests ought to be protected by the courts of justice.
Rule dismissed.
