1 Edw. Ch. 349, 1832 N.Y. LEXIS 221, 1832 N.Y. Misc. LEXIS 16
New York Court of Chancery·Decided May 1, 1832·Published

Opinion

The Vice-Chancellor.

I cannot interfere. The statute never contemplated a compulsive release of dower. It can only be released by consent. If the widow had refused, the court could not have compelled her; and, therefore, cannot compel her present husband to join with her in such a release.

Application denied.
