In the case of David H. Carroll ct al, execu-
tors and trustees under the will of the late David
Carroll VS.. Mary P. Carroll ct al, Judge Fowler
has filed an opinion overruing the exceptions
heretofore fled by DR.. VIM. Kennedy Carroll.
The bill is filed by the executors and trustees
under the will to have the partition of large
part of the testators real and personal estate,
made by them under the provisions of the will,
confirmed by this court; also, to have their past
acts of administration confirmed by the court,
AMI to obtain its guidance in the futher execution
oftheir duties. Judge states, in the opinion, that
althe respondents, including the exceptant DR..
Carroll, Joined in the answer, admitting the facts
stated in the bill, and consenting to the passage
of the decree as prayed. DR.. Carroll now excerpts
to the proposed decree for the following reasons:
al and 2. Because the court has no jurisdiction.
and a. Because the forms of the decree, as pre-
pared and offered by the compliments, is contrary
to and in violation of the exceptants rights under
his fathers will. 5 and 6. Because the proposed
decree allows the executors and trustees certain
expenses which, it is contended, are excessive and
without warrant of law"
AS stated the Judge overruled all the excep-
tions. As to the compensation of the executors
&c. he is of opinion it is liberal but not excessive;
and they are authorized by the will to incur such
expenses as they may find necessary or expedient,
but as they have now subjected themselves to the
control of the court it is proper they should incur
no further expenses without its authority. The
Judge also cOmmends the executors and trustees
for the manner in which they have discharged
their duties, which, he says, were very onerous.
Also, that the testator showed his wisdom in the
selection he made.
On Saturday last Alexander Fl. Miller and
Robt. Bahr were brought before Judge Fowler
from the House of Correction, under writ OF
habeas corpus. The parties were charged with
being drunk and disorderly, and were both re-
fba in aaahe defec-
tive in not showing that jury trial had been
waived.
