Supreme Court of Pennsylvania July 1, 1856 (Kurtz's Appeal)

The opinion of the court was delivered by

Knox, J.

The character of a widow’s interest in the real estate of her deceased husband, after its allotment or sale under proceedings in partition in the Orphans’ Court, has frequently been the subject of judicial decision by this court. We are not aware, however, that the precise question now presented has ever been passed upon.
