Opinion
There can be no objection to this deposition on the ground that the widow had any interest in the land, because whether the deed was absolute, or considered as a mortgage, her right of dower was gone. If it was considered as a mortgage, it would seem that she was swearing against her interest, because the personal property of her late husband was the fund out of which the money must be raised to pay the debt and redeem the land, which would consequently lessen the fund out of which the law makes provision for her. For these reasons, I think a new trial of the issue should not be granted.
