length was filed by p Danson Kellet,
Jr., yesterday in the matter of the es-
tate Of James Dodd, deceased, in pur-
suance of the order of court referring
to the accounts of Rebecca A. Dodd
and Robert William Cathcart, execu-
trix and executor thereof, filed.
The accounts and schedules filed in
the matter are carefully gone over and
analysed and found to be correct, but
the masters report specifies that it
does not recommend, at this time, the
discharge of the executor and execu-
trix, as petitioned for. AS reasons for
this the report gives a list of unfinished
matters that are cited as demanding
further attention. The Beach road
property is shown to be still in the pos
session of the executors, they having
been unable to sell the same at the up
set price of $4,000. as per order of the
court, The San Francisco property of
the estate, valued at s13250 is subject
to a mortgage of $4,000 which is not
yet settled AS far as known the mat
ter of administration is still pending
in the same court of San Francisco, be-
ing attended to by said Rebecca A.
Dodd, from whom no returns in the
lndlter nave Deen received by the mas
ter. Also, there are not sufficient funds
on hand to satisfy the amount of the
legacies in full unless the legatees are
willing to take pro rata and
the residuary legatees are will
ing to take chances on the remain
der, if any. of the San Francisco prop
erty, all of which, according to the
masters report would have to be mu-
tually agreed
The master recommends sane bust
ness policies in reference to the Beach
road property, as to the best methods
of enhancing rentals, defraying ex-
penses, etc
The totals of the accounts, as verified
by the master, are as follows: Com
missions of executors $3.50. 80; receipts
of executors for their term, $14, 1863. SO,
