Elizabeth Carroll et al vs Mary E. Carroll

Be it remembered that on this day came on this cause for further hearing upon
the Report of Clerk Master, which Report is unexcepted and in all things
confirmed, when it appeared to the Court from said Report, that the Clerk and
Master has taken proof to ascertain what the widow Elizabeth Carroll is
entitled to as her dower interest in the proceeds of the sale of land in this
case, and that she is entitled to one Sixth of the amount for which the land
sold for her dower interest in the lands of John W. Carroll deceased, it
further appeared that the other complainants and defendant are entitled each
to one sixth as the heirs of the same. It is therefore ordered adjudged and
decreed by the court that said Elizabeth Carroll after deducting the costs and
attorneys fee in this case is entitled to one sixth of the whole amount for
which the said land sold for her dower interest, that the Clerk and Master
after retaining the costs of this suit pay over to Coldwell and Rains twenty
five dollars for their services as attorneys in this cause, that he pay to
said Elizabeth Carroll one sixth of the 1st payment and to Charles, W.J. and
J.R. Carroll, Eliza Fleming and Mary E. Carroll each one sixth of the same,
that he pay Mary E. Carroll’s share to her Guardian W. J. Carroll and that he
pay to each one of the above married parties one sixth of the other two
payments when due and collected.
