AMENDMENT DEFECTIVE.
Appellate Division OscIdss That Il is Not Sufficient
10 Warrant Maintenance Of Action.

The following rescript was handed
down today in the case of James Gar
vey. administrator. VS.. Mary Ann Gar
vey ct al. I'VE do not think that the
proposed amendment 10 the bill. as set
forth in the compliments motion. IS
sufficient To entitle the complainant to
maintain the bill. The amendment is
as follows: The complainant AYERS that
said Mary Ann Garvey has rendered
her final account and the same hath
been allowed. and in said account she
fraudulently and wrongfully neglected
20 account for said mortgage note or
the proceeds thereof For aueht that
appears. the time for appeal from the
decree Of the probate court allowing
the account has not elapsed or II the
time for an appeal has elapsed. that
the time within which n petition for a
new trial may be filed has elapsed: or
II both these periods have elapsed. that
the complainant was ignorant OF the
fraud until after said periods had
elapsed. In short. IL does not appear
from the amendment that the COM
plainant has not a remedy without a
resort TO equity"
