Syllabus

<p>Jurisdiction, O. 0. — Payment into court — Dower reserved by deed.</p> <p>The orphans’ court has no jurisdiction where a dower interest is charged on land by deed, and hence upon the death of the widow the money so charged may not be paid into the orphans’ court, for distribution among those entitled, upon petition of those charged with payment.</p> <p>The Act of May 17, 1866, P. L. 1096, does not vest jurisdiction in the orphans’ court, nor can it, under the circumstances of the case at bar, be assumed under the Act of July 14,1897, P. L. 269.</p>
