Children OF an Intestate Want Re-
ceiver Appointed


Considerable time was taken up at this
mornings session OF the appellate divis-
ion of the Supreme Court, over which JUS
tice Tilling hast preside d, with a dispute
over a small estate left by Mortimer Cro-
min, who died intestate last March.
IL appeared by the testimony presented
10 the court that after Mr.. Cronin's death
mis- brother, James II. Cronin. was APP
pointed administrator by consent OF all
the heirs. These consisted OF five chill
dren, two OF whom were minors, and q
widow, Mr.. Cronin's second wife. The
matter came before the Appellate Court
this morning on the petition Of Margaret
Il. Sullivan and Della Cronin, two of the
daughters OF the deceased OF full age, fer
the appointment OF receiver of the rents
of the estate.
These two heirs were represented by G..
III. Page. Dennis Ill. Sheahan represented
the administrator and a son OF the intss-
tate, and Rathbone Gardner, represent
ed the widow. The property over which
the dispute about the rent was is val
ued at $500, and the present rental is
sl4 month; although IL some of the
family who reside in one OF the tene-
ments, by consent of all parties, paid
rent, and another small tenement was let,
the rental would be increased to ga per
month.
Mrs. Sullivan testified, In addition to
other things that she had never received
any OF the rents, and that her uncle,
James X. Cronin, the administrator on
the estate, told her when she went to In
quire about her share of the rents that he
had charge of the property Cor a year,
and then the parties might fight IL out
among themselves. Mr.. Cronin denied
this when he took the witness stand, and
said he collected the rents by consent OF
the parties in interest, and he was much
surprised when one OF the petitioners for
the appointment of receiver, Margaret
Sullivan, told him she had been to law
yer and would get her rights. He also
testified that he had.collected in ali ABOUT
s42 for the rent of the property since
April last, and that he had paid a sewer
assessment on part OF the property. In
answer to a question from the court, he
stated the only debts outstanding were
a sewer assessment and a curbing tax.
Mr.. Gardner said he favored the ap-
pointment OF O receiver, and III behalf OF
his client asked that the administrator be
appointed receiver TO take charge OF the
property and collect the rents. Mr.. Shea
han also urged the appointment OF Mr..
Cronin as receiver. Mr.. Page asked for
the appointment of a disinterosted party,
and suggested the name OF Amos Darling
for the office.
Justice Tillinghast took the papers in
the case, and a decision win be an
nounced at some future day.

In the matter of petition OF Charles X.
Blackmar for dissolution of partner
ship, Richard T.. Lyman, who was APP
pointed receiver pending the dissolution,
asked the court to approve OF notice to
creditors. The court did as requested, and
directed go days from October be given
