pctitioned Judge Gunster for a rule for
the removal of Il. II. Shurtleff as ad-
ministrator Of the estate of J. r. Far
ries, on the ground that all the debts
of the estate have been paid and that
the heirs are now all of age.
The purpose of the petition he stated,
was to secure TO the heirs coal royal
ties from the Delaware and Hudson
company which the administrator con-
tinues to collect, despite the fact that
the debts are liuuidated
Mr.. Shurtleff opposed the petition
and denounced the proceedings as an
outrage. He alleges that he paid out
of his own pocket debts against the
estate to the amount of Sl.100 under
an agreement with Mrs. FAIRIES, now
Mrs. Edgar, that she would reimburse
him. The estate, he claims, still owes him
nearly 81 900. Mr.. Newcomb replied to
this by stating that the estate was
prepared to resist this claim.
There is already n citation pending
against NJ. Shurtleff to show cause why
he should not be discharged. This pro-
ceedings looks for summary action.
