late Judge John w. Rely, member OF
the Court Of Appeals from Halifax, was

while Judge Rely came from another
section Of the State, he represented the
whole Commonwealth as a member Of her
highest court, and had lived among us
Z comparatively short time, yet as the
resident judge of this court, his amiable
disposition, his charming personality and
his exalted manhood so enlisted our af-
fections that we may be pardoned for
feeling that in a special sense he be-
ionGed to US.

most fitting manner by Judge r. III. Card

extract from Judge Cardwelfs address:
Judge Rely was honored. indeed pc
loved, by all who knew him, but by none,
outside of his immediate family, was he
more honored, esteemed and beloved than
by the members of this court and those
connected with it in the discharge of Off
cial duties. His high character and his
gentle bearing, though always e"incins
genuine manhood, won the confidence. re-
speet and admiration of all who We're
thrown with him, either in his official or

claims must be established, as to the
Heir or devsee. by the same kind OF
testimony which might be demanded Of
the original creditor. The principle an
rounced in Streets heirs VS.. Street, IL
Leigh, 32l, is here alike applicable. The
claims of the executor who having eN-
hausted the personal assets pays debts
of the deceGent out of his own funds,
against the real estate, are not e&ecu-
tional and they can only be sustained by
regarding him in his true light, and SUD-
shutting him to the rights of the cred
itors whom he has paid. He stands IN
their shoes and must establish his de-
nand in precisely the same manner.
The will does not charge the debts upon
