7.  The  husband  and  wife  were  residents  of  Kentucky,  and  mar-
ried there  in  1852,  the  wife  owning  slaves  at  the  time.  They  sub-

died  childless,  and  shortly  afterward  the  husband  died  at  the  same

wife  were  entitled  to  the  slaves.     Towns  v.  Durbin,  3  Met.  358.
