EXECUTORS RIGHTS.

Surrogate CALVIN In the matter OF the estate OF John
Murphy, has rendered important decision as to how
mr. an executor also cgatec, deal with the
rust property In his possession, and to what extent
:oexccutor is liable for It, John Murphy by his will,
appointed Edward Rourke and John McConvlls as his
Executors and the latter also the residuary egatee
rhe property remained his possession, and no ac-
counting had before his DEATH IN July last. The
late Surrogate Van setback decreed that the surviving
executor, Rourke. pay over to the executors
OF McConvllle the balance OF the estate, about
$50, co. assumed be In hts possession.
Ex-Judgc Quinn moved before Surrogate Calvin, TO
have tho decree rcopencd ON the ground that
the property never came into Rourke's possession.
therefore he should not be charged with II. The
late Surrogate's decision based upon the theory
that an executor though the sole legatee has
right 10 appropriate to himself any portion oil the trust
until there has been accounting ana The CO.
executors assent has been had. Surrogate Calvin, In
granting the motion. says the Court mas no power TO
compel Mr.. McConvie's executors 10 account for the
property received BY their tesator even as executors
unless II has into their possession and then 10
must be collected the same other claims against tho
estate.
