from the Probate Court and administered on
the estate. Subsequently, Messrs. Thomas,
James, William and Robert Bellew, resid.
ing here, and in other cities, claimed, as
relatives OF deceased in the fifth deglee,
(second cOusinS,) to be entitled to the estate
and Messrs. w. s. Cox, j. 4. Hanna and j. w.
Johnston appeared for them; Mr.. X. H. Las

claim. The administrator claimed under an
act OF the assembly of Maryland of l7l9 and
the claimants that that act was repealed so
far as ii was inconsistent with the act of
descent of Maryland of 1871. After testimony
and a thorough argument by counsel, the
court decreed that the claimants (the cousins)
are entitled to the property, and directed the
administrator 10 pay over the funds of the
estate to them. Mr.. Laskey gave notice of an
appeal to the Court in General Term.
