! Johnson says on information and be-
| lief that Magoon, for a period unknown
| before and after the woman's death,
acted as her agent in the management
of property belonging, and the collec-
ton of debts owing, to her. At her
death, it is alleged, Magoon was stili
her agent and held. as he now holds,
certain funds belonging to Mrs. Noho~
| loa, the amount of which and the
| sources from which obtained are un-
known to petitioner.
Petitioner says he has demanded a
statement of account of the funds so
held by respondent, but respondent has
hitherto neglected and refused TO rem
der such a statement.
Wherefore he prays that respondent
may be cited to answer the petition
that he be bound by all the proceedings
to be had in the matter, that the court
decree that respondent render an ac-
count of the funds so held by him, and
further decree the payment by him to
petitioner of such sum as may be found
due, together with interest and costs.

SALE IS UPSET.
Judge De Bolt heard the old partition
case of NJ F. Scott V. E. K Pilipo ct
AL, with reference to the application
of w. A. Wall, commissioner, to con-
firm sale of real estate. Castle Il
Wilmington appeared for petitioner,
and A. S. Humphreys for certain share
holders Directing to confirmation.
There was argument on questions of
procedure and jurisdiction, as well as
the merits of the petition, and the court
decided against the petitioner thus:
Objection to the motion for confir-
nation of sale is sustained on the
ground that the court does not find
that all persons who have or appear to
have an interest in the land involved
are parties to the record or before the
court
AT the sale about 37S acres of land
in fourteen lots were sold at an average
of 1910 an acre, and ninety-two acres
in twelve lots at an average of 1923 an
acre The total realization was over
$500. There We're objections on the
ground of inadequacy of price, but as
shown above the confirmation of sale |
was denied on more technical grounds. |
