    Appeal from the Court of Chancery.
    The bill in this cause was filed on the 29th July 1834. Its object was to procure an assignment of dower, and an account of rents and profits by the appellant, in lands of which her deceased husband was seized during his marriage.

From this order the complainant appealed.

    The motion was argued before Buchanan, C. J., Stephen, Archer, Dorsey, Chambers, and Spence, J.
    By Glenn for the motion, and
    By McLean contra.
   By the court.

appeal dismissed.
