COURT OF EQUITY.
The Court of Equity for this District
adjourned on Friday evening afl? r a session
of four days ; the Chancellor del not reaclt
here until .Mon lay evening, being detained
by undispositifj). .\ considerable amount
of business w..s transacted ; except about
two eases, the decrees were rendered before
the Chancellor left.
A somewhat novel case was presented
and determined :?an old gentleman residing
in Kershaw District, (hut near the line
and having possessions in both Districts.)
was married in the Town of Camden in the
fail of 1 S5-"> to his neice, his full Brother's
daughter, lb' died shortly afterwards inn-**
tale, leaving an Estate worth about Thirteen
Thousand Dollars. The Bill was filed
for the partition of his Estate ; on the part
n r Liu /iliihlritn if If'ia inaurlml fl.?? ?...?
riago was illc^ni and void, and that in the
distribution of his Estate, I lie widow (and
licit o) was tnlijhd to rn? part thereof. The
widow inserted that she was lawfully the
widow of the intestate, and was entitled to
the one third part of his whole Estate. under
the statute of distribution of the SlateJ
The Chancellor held that the widow,notwithstanding
she was the neice of the intc.
t ile, was entitled to the one third of his Estate.
That the I .aw Court having divided in
a somewhat similar ease,(the State vs. Bare*
foot 2d Richardson I.av Reports,) the
Court of Equity was hound to follow the
Law?that there was no Caw in our State
rendering the marriage of an Uncle and
Neice void. A pari of the children resided
in this District and a portion of the i^inds
were situate in the same, and the Bill for
convenience was filed in tho Court fur this
District. We understand that the ease will
be carried to tho Appeal Court for its adjudication.
Chancellor Dnnkin, who presided, is nn
able and ' anted Judge, quick to understand
the points presented, and prompt to decide
in tlie issues made, ready with illustrations
and reference* to adjudicate canes touching
the uiaittr iu controversy.
