    Abstract of the Decision.
    Executors and administrators, § 175
      
      —when married daughter not entitled, to a child’s award. Under section 77 of the statute relating to “Administration of Estates,” J. & A. f 126, a married daughter of a deceased householder is not entitled to a child’s award because of the fact she lived with her father while teaching school where her husband resided in another place and she visited him on Sundays and their relations as husband and wife were in no way adverse. In such case her residence is that of her husband.
