Butler by her Conservator v. Butler.
    A party may not be permitted to aver against a record.
    PetitioN in chancery, showing that her brother Zephaniah Huntington, after her husband’s death, appeared at the Court of Probate and in her name refused what was given her by will, and claimed dower without any authority from her; and, prays that the proceedings in the Court of Probate may be set aside, and she have her dower in her said husband’s estate.
    Plea in abatement — That by the records of the Court of Probate it appears that said Zephaniah was her attorney at that time, and she ought not to be permitted h> contradict the record.
   Judgment — Plea sufficient.
