Decided January 15, 1878

Supreme Court of Kansas · decided 1878-01-15

Error from Bourbon District Court. Action brought by Mrs. Wright for the partition of certain lands, to an equal moiety of which with plaintiff in error, Mrs. Couch, she claimed title as heir-at-law of Henrietta Andrick, deceased. The answer denied that plaintiff had any title to or interest in the lands; and the only question at issue was, whether under the statute of descents Mrs. Wright was an heir-at-law of said Henrietta Andrick.

¶1By the Court,

Horton, C. J.:

¶2This case seems to be almost identical with the case of Dodge v. Beeler, 12 Kas. 524, as respects the grounds upon which the claim of defendant in error is based, and with the decision in that case we are entirely satisfied. As the decision of the court below followed the rule of construction enunciated in Dodge v. Beeler, the judgment will be affirmed.

All the Justices concurring.
