Hawkins v. Hall, 2 S.C.L. 449 (S.C. Ct. App. 1802).

Pincite

Opinion

But the Court refused the motion, observing, that whenever it appeared from the return of the commissioners themselves that they had given a widow more than she was entitled to, the proceedings ought to be set aside ; for although the claim of a widow’s dower is highly favoured in law, yet there are other parties whose interests ought to be protected by the courts of justice.

Rule dismissed.
