1Opinion of the Court
Thomas Allison, Referee.
The interlocutory judgment herein refers it to me to admeasure the plaintiff’s dower in the premises therein described, and to compute the damages for the withholding thereof from the time of the commencement of this action. It also prohibits me from admeasuring such dower in any permanent improvements made since said property was conveyed to the defendant Haran and from including anything for *187the use of such improvements in the computation of damages.
There was no controversy as to the facts on the hearing before me but a very decided controversy as to the law.
