port on the final account of w.
Castle. executor of the estate of Joshu
R. Williams. 1t was necessary for hir
to go over the twenty-five accounts o
Mr. Castle as trustee, covering perio'
of q years and six months. The maste
holds the account to be incorrect il
not including the receipts and dis
bursements of the trustee for the pc
Rod between July, 1882, and June
1883, also that balances We're carried
forward from one account to another
and again added 4 statement of the
account as he says it should be is ap-
pended by the master, which makes
the total receipts 1901 ,83105, instead
of $163, 566.2 % as the executor has them,
and disbursements 1895, 100000 instead
of $15S, 06591 as stated by the executor.
The executor gives $5500.31 as invested
in notes and mortgages, which balances
payments with receipts, while the
master shows a balance of $6S31.01 due
the estate. The difference in favor of
the estate would be $133070, but the
master shows that the schedules from
the accounts are incorrect and, max
ing up a corrected schedule, finds
balance of $500 due the estate but
to which the executor is entitled be-
cause he had credited himself with
that much too little in one account.
In passing upon the investments the
master finds that on October p, 1899,
Mrs Josephine Boyd and seven others
named, presumably Williams heirs, sold
to l.. l.. McCandless for $3.50 certain
pieces of land at Halawa, and that
en- March %, 1902, W. R. Castle, as
executor and trustee under the will of
Joshua r. Williams, sold the same
pieces of land to the Woodlawn Fruit
Co., Ltd, for 1854, and he asks:
t'Did the title to the property sold |
to Mr.. McCandless by Mrs. Josephine
Boyd, R. N. Boyd, Georgiana Williams,
Mrs. Lydia Chapman, Joshua R. Will
Iiams, Rose Williams, Othello Williams |
and Kahalanaola Williams, and by Will |
liam r. Castle as executor and trustee |
to the Woodlawn Fruit Co., Ltd, lie |
in the ones that sold to McCandless |
or in William r. Castle as executor and
trustee2
rs L. L. McCandless entitled to the
Ia
to him) of the proceeds of the sale to
the woodlawn Fruit Co. Ltd. ?'
Finally. the master suggests that the
trustee explain to the court why the
accounts do not show 1854, called for
by, the deed, as received from the
Woodlawn company. instead of s1343.7o
shown in the accounts.
