Pincite

Opinion

Mr. Justice Dickey

delivered the opinion of the Court:

From the circumstances, proved, we are constrained to believe that the parties all agreed upon the sale of the premises; that the appellee was to have, in her own right, $1800 of the proceeds- of the land as the price of her dower right in the land. If this were so, we see no reason why appellant ought not to pay the principal, as well as the interest, of the note.

The decree must be affirmed.

Decree affirmed.
