COURT DENIES PETITIONS
OF THE HIBERNIA BANK
Holds That Corporations Other Than
Trust Companies Cannot Admin
lister on Estates

Judge Coffey decided yesterday that
corporations, except those acting un-
der the statute providing for trust
companies, cannot act as administra-
tors of estates, and refused to grant
the petition Of the Hibernia Bank for
letters of administration upon the es-
tate of Caroline Robinson. He de-
cided that such corporations cannot
nominate an administrator, and re-
fused to grant the banks request TO
appoint Public Administrator NJ. j.
Hynes. Both petitions were filed to
fcrestau the efforts of Charles Robin
son to secure the appointment of ad-
ministrator. The bank will now op-
pose Robinson's appointment on the
ground that he is unworthy.
The Robinson estate is the cause of
the trouble that led to the filing by
Attorney George d. Collins of charges
against Judge Kerrigan of the Supe-
rior Court and the commencement of
disbarment proceedings against Col
lins by the Hibernia Bank. c. w. Pur-
rington, former administrator of the
estate, was removed by Judge Coffey
on complaint of the bank for grave
neglect" of his duties.
