tioned in such manner, and upon such terms as he may deem most
advantageous; Provided, that no part thereof be leased for more
than one year, and so from year to year until a sale can be effected
according to the terms of the said decree; and subject to the fur-
ther order of this Court. And the trustee is hereby authorized
and required to cause to be applied so much of the rents and pro-
fits as he may deem proper, to the making of necessary repairs in
the buildings and fences.

On the 4th of May, 1829, the trustee reported, that he had ad-
vertised the property to be sold at auction; but having recened
no bid for it, but what was obviously below the value, he then ad-
vertised it to be sold at private sale; and for that purpose had
caused a lot of land to be laid off' forty and a half acres and seven
perches, including the mill, mill-house, and ferry, and other build-
ings appurtenant to the same, with the privileges of water and
water-rights, &c.; which he had on the first day of May, 1829,
*sold to Cornelius Shriver for the price oi twelve thousand

dollars payable as follows: three thousand dollars payable 218
on the first of May then next; and the balance in four yearly pay-
ments, that is, two thousand dollars a year for the first three years,
and three thousand dollars the fourth year, to be secured by bonds
with good sureties, bearing interest from the first day of May,
1829; from whom he had also received $400 lor rent, after deduct-
ing his account for repairs.

The trustee further reported, that he had, on the same day, sold
the residue of the estate called Ceresville, containing tour hundred
and seventy-nine and a halt acres and eight perches, to Charles
W. Johnson, at the price of fifty dollars per acre, on the following
terms: six thousand dollars to be paid on the first day of May
then next, and the balance to be paid three years from the first
day of May next, with interest from that date payable annually
thereon, to be secured by bonds with two good sureties, &c.. &c.
That the amount of the sales, exclusive of the rents not due which
were passed to the vendors, was thirty-five thousand nine hundred
and seventy-seven dollars and fifty cents. And, that the wood
lot yet remained unsold. These sales were finally latified on the
6th of July, 1829.

The widow and petitioner Susan F. Williams, filed an affidavit
of a person, not interested in the case, in which it was testified,
that she was then, on the 16th day of July, 1829, between forty
and fifty years of age, and that she then enjoyed and was in full
and good health. Upon which she submitted the case, that a pro-
portion of the proceeds of the sales might be allowed to her in lieu
of her dower in the real estate which had been sold.

proceeds of sale to be a'warded to the widow, as the present value
