THIS was an action of Dower, brought in Bucks County, against the defendant, who had purchased lands, sold by the sheriff under a judgment obtained on a Scire Facias on a mortgage. The mortgage was executed by the husband, but the plaintiff (his widow) was no party to it: And on the trial Justice ATLEE reserved the point, whether the wife's dower was bound by the mortgage?
BY THE COURT: — The point has been too long settled to be stirred now; and judgment must be for the defendant.
