Matters Passed Upon at Yester-
days Session.

An attempt was made yesterday by
the attorney, for the contesting heirs,
in the estate of Lucy D. Young, to get
a decree. 1t will be remembered that
some time ago there was a discussion
of the annual account of the executors,
by counsel for the various parties,
which was brought on, by a bill of ex-
ceptions filed by certain of the lega-
tees.
Yesterday Messrs. Franklin S. Rich
ards and E. B. Critchlow appeared in
court and asked that a decree be
entered which would charge the execu]
! tors with certain monies, exceeding
$4,000, and personal property, certain
stocks. etc. To this lie Grande Young,
one of the executors, objected, saying
/ that the decree, as presented, showed
| that there was a certain amount OF
money and personal property on hand.
This was not 81. There was no such
amount on hand; it had all been dis
posed of by one of the executors and
was practically gone where the wood
bine twineth.'' To decree that there
was this amount of money on hand
would be to charge. or make liable, all
the executors. and this he protested

at the time that the papers were filed
that the award was made, but this was
not a fact. The decree was made yes

grandchildren of Mrs. Ensign.
Samuel B. Westerfield was appointed
by the court as the administrator of
the estate of Stephen y. Estes in place
