Illinois Supreme Court December 16, 1903 (Lohmeyer v. Durbin)

Mr. Justice Wilkin

delivered the opinion of the court:

The correctness of the ruling of the chancellor upon the plea to the original petition was, we think, clearly right. It presented a complete defense to the claim of dower alleged in that petition. We regard the bill set up in that plea as in substance one to foreclose a mortgage given to secure purchase money.
