Supreme Court of Pennsylvania November 8, 1880 (Appeal of Louisa Rankin)

Mr. Justice Paxson

delivered the opinion of the court,

The first assignment alleges the Orphans’ Court erred in holding that it had jurisdiction in partition on petition of a life-tenant where there were lineal descendants. ' There is nothing in the language of any Act of Assembly that in express terms gives a life-tenant, other than the widow, the right to have partition in the Orphans’ Court.
