the pending motion being to appoint an admin

Mr.. Cox replied to the argument Of Mr.. Da.
vidge made last week. lie held that the appeal
| which had been centered in tho cause ipsO fdct0
| superseded tbe order Of court revoking Mrs,
Bassetts letters testamontary, and continued
her in full possession of her authority. The
statute of Maryland, by making II incumbent
| annellant
appeal showed the intent Of the legislature that
the apr ellant should hold the ground she occu.
pied till its decision. Otherwise, why quicken
her pace by law, when her own interest would
obviously suggest speed
| Mr.. q. quoted Maryland, New Hampshire,
and Pennsy lvania cases as showing that, even
after revocation Of the authorities Of an admin.
istration and the appointment Of another pm.
| dente lite, the FIRST administrator had been
allowed to recover debts due his intcstate.
Thus, the view maintained by tho other side
would give the deceased two personal represent
atives-a judicial absurdity.

the positions taken by Mr.. Dayidgo last week,
and the case was continued till Tuesday next.
The court then adjourned till noon on Tues
