CHAP. XII.
It should be observed, that when any one endow his Wife in these words, “I give to thee this Land, or Vill, by name, with all its appurtenances”—if, at that period, he held not any thing appurtenant to it in his Demesne, nor of which he was seised at the time of his Espousals, and he in his lifetime recover it, or by any other lawful means acquire it, the Wife, after the death of her Husband, may, by the Law of Dower, justly demand such appurtenant, together with the other property of which she was endowed.
CHAP. XIII.
It must also be understood, that if the Husband of any Woman, after having endowed her as his Wife, should sell her Dower to any one, his Heir shall be obliged to deliver the Dower to the Woman, if he possibly can; at the same time he shall be bound to render a reasonable equivalent to the Purchaser, on account of the Sale, or Gift of his Ancestor.[182] If, however, the Heir be unable so to do, he shall be bound to make to the woman a reasonable compensation.
