The Beley v. Naphtaly case in 1897 involved a dispute over the interpretation of an inheritance law in California. The plaintiff, Beley, was the executor of a will and argued that under California law, he should receive one-third of the deceased's estate because there were no surviving children or parents. However, Naphtaly claimed that as a sibling to the deceased, she was entitled to half of her brother's property since their mother had predeceased him. The Supreme Court ruled in favor of Naphtaly stating that according to Section 1386 of Civil Code in California which provides for distribution when decedent leaves neither issue nor spouse but both parent and brothers or sisters or descendants from them; if only one parent is alive then half goes to such lone parent and remaining half goes among siblings equally - thus entitling her to inherit half share despite being survived by father too who gets other half.

The dissenting opinion in the case of Beley v. Naphtaly, 1897 is not available or does not exist. The Supreme Court's decision was unanimous and did not feature any noted dissents from the justices involved in this particular case.
