   Opinion- of the Oourt by

Judge Eobertson :

Bulware’s will and the conveyance by Price to Mrs. Griffith, and “.the heirs of her body,” pursuant to that will, constructively import a fee simple title in her. And consequently the purchaser of her title will hold a fee simple interest indefeasable by her issue.

The judgment of the circuit court is therefore affirmed.
