Mortgage.

Judge Gear yesterday appointed C.
A Long as administrator de bonis non
of the estate of r. w. Holt under bond
of $4,000. Thus in this estate there
is a dual appointment of trustees;
Judge Gear having held that an ap-
pointment of a trustee by a probate
Judge is unauthorized. Hence this ap-
pointment. which is consistent with his
former ruling. This question will be
settled by the Supreme Court in the
Banning Estate by appeal OF J. A Ma
COON who, as trustee, was appointed oy
a probate court and not by a court in
chancery.
NOBREGA ALIMONY PAID.
Libana de Nobrega has filed satisfac-
ton of judgment in her divorce suit
against Sylvana de Nobrega. This case
has been before the Supreme Court
three times, Justice Perry dissenting
from one of the opinions. 1t was once
decided against Judge Gear that tenn
porary alimony could not be allowed,
as the wife was not in destitute cir
cumstances. In another opinion the
Supreme Court reduced the alimony
in gross of $40, 900 granted by Judge
Gear to $4,000. This is the judgment
now satisfied. In the third case the
Supreme Court dismissed an appeal
from Judge Gears allowance of $1,000
attorneys fee to Geo. a. Davis. at
torney for libellant, this decision being
on technical grounds. Mr.. Davis COM
planned, incidentally, in the Supreme
Court yesterday that Attorney-General
Andrews had prevented his collection
of the Nobrega case fee.
