Before Vice Chancellor M'Com.
JUNE l5.-DEcIsloy - William W. Holly and rJc,
vs.. John G'oper-rhis application i'll relation
to the estate of John ]. Glover, deceased, from
which the sum Of $655,600 rs has already been re-
allied by the executors and The income for several
years after his DEATH was from $25 600 to Ss2S 600
per annum. Glover died, we believe, in 1925, leav-
ing his sons, John Glover and Samuel Glover, his
executors. He had large family, OF which Mrs.
Iloley, Mrs; c. G. Cambreng, Mrs NJ. Eastburn,
Mrs. Z. Seeley, Mrs. Ludlow and Mrs. Edwards,
formed a portion. In July, 1892 the estate being
still unsettled the subject referred by the Vice
Chancellor, with the consent of parties, TO master
in chancery ,(Mr. G. w. Moore), The executors
were directed to pass over all the bonds. mortgages
any other property belongingto the estate in their
hands, 10 MIR. Thomas Glover, who was to make a
report to the master TO the situation Of the estate
the sums owing by IT, and the outstanding assets
also that he make statement of the a.lotments to
the heirs Nc., and that the matter be passed upon
by the master. This task was performed, and Mr..
Thos: Clover claimed that 1t should be final, aver
ring that the master was bound 10 receive it, power
being given similar TO that of board OF arbitrators
Exceptions were made TO the report, the plaintiffs
denying that it should be considered in the light of
an award. The master allowed the report of aot
ment TO be inal, and the subject is now brought to
this Court Tor It's views on that point. The Vice
Chancellor, in giving his decision, stated that
the order of so did not confer power TO make
a final award, but that the account should
De submitted TO the master and finally be
presented for approval 10 this court. Still the
account and the allotment should be looked upon as
he act OF authorised agent, and, prima acie, be
considered correct The parties interested can have
liberty TO file objections to such parts as may be
considered otherwise and the master proceed TO cx-
anime witnesses and pass upon the particular obec-
tons, but the report and allotment cannot be set
side masse. The burthen of proof must be
thrown upon those making the exceptions With
this view OF the case the subject referred back
TO the Master for further action.
BY the terms OF the will. the daughters OF Mr.. Glo-
yer. who had attained the age Il, 10 be paid
$1,000 each, and the other daughters similar sum-
as they arrived at that age. Elizabeth Glover died
1892 and her share OF the estate provided for in
the will in case of DEATH was to be divided among
the other heirs. Two of the daughters (Sarah
and Martha( nowEprescnt petition 10 the Vice
Chancellor, stating their belief that the estate will
not be settled for several years, and asking that the
portions allotted to them as being still due should be
paid-Sarah in the sum of $l,1o0. and Martha
5000. The Vice Chancellor stated that il was not
usual to make an order for the payment Of money
unless by consent of all the parties, or on tle busi
ness being finally settled by a master. He though,
that a great deal OF delay might be prevented. and
The affairs of the estate soon brought to a close, il
proper diligence were exercised. He did not think
il worth while, therefore, TO make the order The
prayer OF the petitioners is denied, for the present
but the court. it 1t sees fit, may entertain the app
cation h GREATER.
