    UNDERHILL v. RODWELL.
    (Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Second Department.
    June 22, 1897).
    Payment to Legatee—Recovery—Evidence.
    For an executor to recover part of a payment made by him to a legatee, it is not enough to show that the decree on accounting by him made him a certain allowance, and that there is not enough for this unless part of the payment be recovered; it must also be shown that the payment was not voluntary, but was made under circumstances entitling him to recover it back.
