New Law on Adnlinlstrator., Sales.

A petition is being circulated among
the attorneys Of this county and largely
signed, asking the Legislature to pass an
amendment 10 Chapter 80, Revised Code,
entitled an act of the sale of lands by
executors and administrators. The
principal change is in allowing sales to
be confirmed at adjourned sittings of the
Orphans Court instead Of being
delayed until the regular sessions of the
court in March and September. This
bill was passed by the Legislature two
years ago at the request of the entire bar
of New Castle county, but was mislaid by
one OF the clerks and never. enrolled, its
loss was NOS discovered until after the
Legislature had adjourned. The law as
it now exists makes it impossible for q
sale to be confirmed before the regular
sittings of the court This regular sit
ting often occurs just after moving time
in March If man buys prop
erty at administrators OF executors
sales any time after the Septem Der
term, he has to wait until March to have
the sale confirmed by the court before he
can take legal possession As sales are
often set aside by the court, a man who
has bought property never knows
whether it is safe for him to move into
such property; and administrators com.
plain that they lose many sales from
this cause.
