ROLLS COURT.
(Before the Mastar of the Rolls.)

ItIRD V. DINGLE—JUDGMENT.
This cause, on further consideration, came on for Jog'
ment this morning.

His Honour said—ln this case the only question is, wile;
ther the executors ought to bo charged with a surplus of
:E6OO, which has been lost by them through their neglee;
in not selling in due time certain shares in the Norwici;
,
Insurance Company. It is alleged that for more than
years after the testator's death they remained unsold. '` ;6
testator died in November, and five years afterwards, '
January, they sold them at a loss. They are liable in re'
they
yct
doifsciht—artghe selertehecmanbveesr
Now, question
they
must have do
aboutthatunlst:
something that they can refer to. Their plea is, that the,'
placed a state of matters before the gentlemen who were
entitled to the absolute property in reversion at the time,
and there was no objection to the shares remaining unsold;
but there is no evidence of that, except that everything rw
mained unchanged. I am of opinion that the burden of
proof lay upon the executors, and that they have not suit
ciently proved that they had any sanction on the part of
the residuary legatees that these shares should not be sold.
They must be charged with the costs of all these cases, and
they must also be charged with the amount of the loss eta'
tained by the want of sale in due time.
