Opinion
(Fall Riding, 1805.)
An advancement will be varied according to its worth at the time of the advancement.
PLAINTIFF'S wife, whilst a widow, dissented to her former husband's will, and now sued for a child's part; and the question was as to an advancement made to one of the children, whether that should be estimated according to the present value or as was the value when advanced. The advancement consisted of a wench and one child, but there are now seven children.
The advancement must be estimated according to the value when advanced.
