¶1The statute (Hart. Dig. Art. 1153) is too plain and explicit to admit of doubt or question. It declares that when the widow and children have separate property adequate to their maintenance, the allowance provided for that purpose shall not be made. The present was a case plainly within the prohibition. The judgment is affirmed.
