Description

First. Four-eighths, the true share (as he asserted) of Daniel as survivor of his wife, inasmuch as under the statute which gave the wife's property to her surviving husband and her children 'in equal proportions,' Daniel had got one-half or four-eighths, an equal share with the children, and not one-fifth, the same share as if he were but one of five children, regarded as a class; and that this one-half passed under the second of the two covenants of the deed of June 25th, 1850. Second. One-eighth,–the eighth, to wit, that came from Isabella Gillihan; for, that this had been truly and literally 'obtained' by Daniel 'from the government of the United States,' though indirectly, and came under the covenant; the fact, as he assumed, that it came through Isabella, and not directly, not affecting Lownsdale's obligation or that of his heirs to convey.
