DIVIDENDS ON STOCKS.
1. Where stocks are sold before the dividends are declared, the latter pass
by the sale and transfer to the purchaser. Abercrombie vs. Riddle, 320.
2. The stocks in this case were gold shortly before the day for declaring
dividends had arrived. This sale was made by consent of all parties,
including the assignee of the life interest in them. HELD—
That the assignee was not entitled to any allowance out of the proceeds
of sale, on account of dividends which had accrued up to the day of
sale. Ib.
3. The hypothesis, that the value of the stock was enhanced in precise pro-

temperance on the part of the husband, in no way diminishes the title of

A much less stringent rule applies to the latter than to the former,
because the wife may find it difficult to quit the husband's house, or
withdraw from his bed, and she must submit to necessity; circumstances
which do not apply to the husband. Ib.
4. Yet, after the parties have become reconciled, the Courts are averse to
reviving or listening to old grounds of complaint, which had better be
forgotten, as well as forgiven. Ib.
