Opinion

PRATT, J.

The referee’s conclusions are sustained by the proof. If appellant is right in her views of the value of the eight-acre lot, she can protect her rights by buying it upon the sale. As she is entitled to one third the whole estate, and the eight-acre lot is of far less value than one third, so to do would not require any cash payment, and would be ■substantially the same as its being set aside to her, as she desires.

Judgment affirmed.
