1Opinion of the CourtThompson, J.
The plaintiff filed her petition in the probate court of the city of St. Louis, claiming out of the estate of her deceased husband the allowance in lieu of provisions authorized by section 106, Revised Statutes, and, also, the absolute allowance of four hundred dollars in money, authorized by section 107, Revised Statutes. An appeal was taken from the order of the probate court to the circuit court, where, on a hearing de novo, the circuit court rendered judgment for the administrator, disallowing the petition, from which judgment the petitioner has appealed to this court.
