Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court October 15, 1841 (Robinson v. Bates)

Wilde, J.

The demandant having made out a primá facts case, entitling her to dower, the general question is, whether the defence set up by the tenant is sufficient in law to bar her claim. He relies on a deed of the premises in question from William Robinson, the demandant’s late husband, to one John Jacobs.
