    Reversed.
    Appeal from decree of register of wills granting letters of administration.
    The facts appear in McMurray’s Est., 256 Pa. 233.

      Charles K. Robinson, with him Frank E. Kennedy, for appellant.
    
      John 8. Robb, Jr., with him John Rebmam, Jr., for Edward M. Reis, appellee.
    March 23, 1917:
   Per Curiam,

After the r,e-reargument of this appeal, ordered upon the application of the appellee* we are still quite clear that the learned court below erred in substituting its discretion for that of' the register, which had not been improperly exercised. Our decree of January. 8, 1917, (McMurray’s Est., 256 Pa. 233), will, therefore, not be disturbed.
