Powers v. . Jackson
Decided May 5, 1874
New York Court of Appeals · decided 1874-05-05
This was an action for partition ; the only question was as to the right of dower of the wife, co-defendant. The facts are substantially the same as in House v. Jackson (50 N. Y., 161), save that there the claimant of the dower right was a widow. The defendants intermarried before the rendition of the judgment under which the plaintiff claimed title. The judgment below gave the wife an inchoate dower right in one-eleventh of the land in suit.
