Syllabus

<p>1. Bower — judgment against husband during coverture, no bar. — A judgment rendered against the husband during the coverture does not defeat the widow’s right of dower, even though the land be wholly insufficient to satisfy the judgment.</p> <p>2. Administrator can not resist widow’s application for dower, on the ground of paramount claim of creditor. — On an application by the widow to have dower assigned her, the inquiry is limited to the questions of marriage, seizin of the husband, and non-alienation by him.</p>
