Mississippi Supreme Court October 15, 1886 (McDaniel v. Allen)

Cooper, C. J.,

delivered the opinion of the court.

J. H. Bolen took as purchaser under the will of his father, Willoughby Bolen, and not as heir-at-law. As heir-at-law he would have taken an undivided interest with the widow of the testator and the other heirs-at-law. Code of 1880, § 1271. And this would have given him an estate in possession to be presently enjoyed.
