Martin v. Martin

6 Watts 67
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania·Decided May 15, 1837·Published·Cited by 6 cases

Opinion

Per Curiam.

The rule that general legacies bear interest from the time when they are payable, may be relaxed in favour of, but not against a legatee. A child unprovided for, is allowed interest from the time of the death; but the same favour is not shown to the widow. But nothing can postpone the accruing of interest to a period later, than the time of payment appointed by the testator.

Judgment affirmed.
