supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia.
September Is, 1900.
A WIDOW HAS DOVER IN LAND
WHICH HER HUSBAND OWNED
IN FEE SIMPLE AND WHICH HE
CONVEYED BY DEED IN WHICH
SHE DID NOT UNITE.
Ihese were two suits heard together
one 10 set aside Il decd for certain lands
conveyed to John Gardner and the
other by the widow of John Gardner
Tor dover in said lands. The lower
court dismissed both bills and there
We're appeals in both cases.
The court says:
Upon oral testimony taken before n
commissioners of the court, to whom
the causes were referred, in support of
appellee'S contention and to which ,ap-
peliants excepted. the circuit court
made the DEGREES appealed from.
1t is unnecessary for us to determine
whether this oral testimony was adnis-
sible to alter the documentary evidence
showing that John Gardner had such
6eizin in the lands in controversy after
his marriage with appellant. Jennie NJ
Gardner. as to eniitle her 10 dowry
therein, for if it were conceded tina I
Ii was admissible. it is by no mems
sufficient to sustain 1rpellees conten-
ton that the lands in question were in
fact conveyed to him, and the confusion
as to title thereto caused by the middle
letter of his name being nadvcrtcntIy
or otherwise omitted from each of the
four deeds above mentioned.
Tho court then recitcs the evidence
and continues.l
Under these circumstances, 1T is in
conceivable that in each Of the four
deeds conveying an interest in the
"Fullcn lands" TO John Gardner. the
mistake was made that appellee con.
tends for. and 1t is Incredible that such
mistake could have been made and
appellee not have discovered it and de-
mandcd u correction till March. 1891.
when he procured the deed from John
Gardner OF March 81, 1891. Appellant.
Jennie NJ. Gardner not having united
with her husband in that deed. she is
clearly entitled to dover in the lands
thereby conveyed: therefore the decree
OF July y, 1897. is erroneous.
While the evidence in the case is suf-
ficient to raise ~ strong suspicion that
the deed was obtained by appellee by
fraud and undue influence, ii is, in our
opinion insufficient to sustain the al
legation. and therefore the decree of
October ,, 1897. in so far as 1t dismissed
that bill must be affirmed. Affirmed in
part and reversed in part
