AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

The supreme court on the second
of this month, sitting in bank, rem
dered decision of much interest to
the legal fraternity, and also to
property holders generally. 1t was
in the case of L. ]. Turner VS.. J. b.
Richardson, involving the question
of who was entitled to letters of ad
ministration upon the estate of
Arthur D. Turner, who died in
Solano county. Deceased left four
brothers, three of whom we're adults,
the fourth being a minor. ]. B.
Richardson was appointed guardian
of the minor, and as such applied
for letters of administration, his ap-
plication being supported by two
adult brothers. The other adult
brother, L. ]. Turner, petitioned for
letters, and contended that being of
age he had a superior claim to ad
minister the estate as against the
guardian of the minor. The lower
court held otherwise, and appointed
the guardian as administrator The
supreme court, in a lengthy decision,
which we publish in full in another
column, sustains the action of the
lower court, holding that the legal
guardian of the minor brother was
placed on the same footing, so far as
the right to administer the estate
was concerned, as the adult brothers.
The court plainly says that it was
within the discretion of the court to
appoint the guardian of the minor
brother to the exclusion of the adult
brother. This decision is of much
interest in Amador county because
a contrary view was upheld in con-
test for letters of administration of
the estate of Frank Frates, who died
in lone in October last. He left sew
eral children as heirs, all minors, the
oldest son lacking only two years of
being of age. W. A BENEFITS was
appointed guardian i'll accordance
with the wishes of all parties in in
terest. AS such guardian he ap-
piled for letters of administration.
unqer the supreme court decision
the guardian was entitled to the
same force and effect as the petition
of a son of adult age. The public
administrator, Geo. M. Huberty,
made application for letters, contest
ing the right of the guardian of the
minor heir. The case was argued
on both sides, F. L. Stewart for the
guardian and W. J. McGee for the
public administrator. The Judge
thereafter filed a written opinion,
holding that the court in the exercise
of its legal discretion had the right
to appoint whichever petitioner it
deemed best for the interests of the
estate, and thereupon appointed the
public administrator as such, in
preference to the representative of
relative and heir of the highest
class. The case was not appealed,
owing to the expense involved
therein, and the public admins
traitor is now in charge of the affairs
of this estate. The decision pub
lished in extenso elsewhere will
hereafter definitely settle the point
that the discretion of the court in
such cases is confined only to mem
bers of the same class, and must not
be exercised in favor of a subor-
dinate and against superior petit
toner for letters of administration.

A writer in a New York newspaper.
IN reviewing the business situation and
presenting some figures OF the interna-

declares that neither cottor nor iron is

true this is. It is only casually that
