Circuit Court.
Continued from last week. J

The case of August Brauer,
charged with non-support of his
wife, was tried before a jury. This
case came within the act of Assem-
bly, passed in 1896 providing that
where man refuses to support his
wife or minor child he can be in
dicted by the grand jury and be
committed to the House of Correc-
ton. The jury was unable to agree
on verdict and was discharged on
Thursday.
Wednesday evening court was in
session, hearing argument in the
chancery case of w. T. Hammond
and others against Philip A. Ric-
ard, Sarah r. III. Worrall and
others. The suit was instituted by
the sureties Of the testamentary
bond of Richard j.. Thomas, Jr.,
deceased executor of Richard L.
Thomas, Sr. The executor died
before completing his trust, and
letters of administration, with will
annexed, were granted to Sarah r.
H. Worrall by the Orphans Court,
where the estate was in progress of
settlement. By the last account
passed in the Orphans Court by
the deceased executor it appeared
that there was due the estate the
sum of $4,207.65. Mrs. Worrall
obtained an order to bring the
money into court preparatory to
suit against the plaintiffs, who were
sureties upon the bond of the exec
utors of r. L. Thomas, Jr. VIM.
s. Evans, representing the sureties,
fled bill in equity in the Circuit
Court to set aside the account fled
by the deceased executors and to
restate proper account. The case
was referred to the auditor of the
court to state an account and also
to state such other accounts as So
licitors of the respective parties
might direct. The court rejected
the account stated under the direc-
tion of VIM. T. Warburton, solic-
itor for the defendants, ratifying
and confirming the account of the
plaintiffs. The confirmed account
shows that the estate of Richard l..
Thomas, ST., is indebted to the
deceased executor in the sum Of 80
cents. The decision releases the
sureties of the executors bond from
any liability as sureties on said
bond. The sureties are w. Il.
Hammond, A. Anderson, james
Roney and John III. White.
