Supreme Court of Alabama January 15, 1860 (Perrine's Executors v. Perrine)

R. W. WALKER, J.

The only question in this case is, whether the widow of an intestate, who, after his death, and until the assignment of her dower, occupied the place of his last residence, is, when her dower is assigned her, entitled to a third of the rents and profits, which, during the continuance of her possession of the mansion-house, accrued from the other lands subject to her dower.
