70 Ga. 733 | Ga. | 1883
The plaintiff in error, as the widow of Wylly Wood-bridge, applied to the ordinary for a twelve months’ support for herself out of the estate of her deceased husband; she alleged that the estate' had been kept together for three years; she also asked for an allowance for each year the estate had been so kept together. She showed by her petition that there were no minor children, and did not allege that there were no debts to be paid. An appeal was taken from the judgment of the ordinary to the superior court. The defendants demurred to the petition, and the court below sustained the demurrer to all of said petition, except a twelve months’ support for one year, and dismissed the same as to the second and third years. The plaintiff excepts to this ruling, and now here assigns the same for error.
Judgment reversed.
