Orphans Court.

An important case was argued
before the Orphans Court fol
Cecil County last week and decided
by the Judges.
In 1894 letters of administration
were granted to Miss Varina j.
Corbaley on the estate of her hall
sister, Mrs. Agnes Reynolds, widow
of Jeremiah Reynolds, who had
died leaving five minor children.
She did not file an account in the
Court, although in 1896 she re.
ceived $1,7O7. 81 due Mrs. Reyn-
olds' estate from the estate of Ben.
jamin j. Green, and in 1897 the
further sum of $632 90. Her
bondsmen as admipistratrix were
i. E. Marsh and the late George
George W. Lockwood.
George r., Eugene G. and Leo
i. Reynolds, surviving children of
Mrs. Agnes Reynolds, and the
administrators of the two deceased
children, through their counsel,
Omar d. Crothors, Esq, brought
suit in the Circuit Court against
the bond and Mr.. Marsh and Mrs
Lockwood, devisee of the late
George W. Lockwood, confessed
judgement in an amount to be
determined later by agreement, or
failing in this, to be submitted to
the Orphans Court to fix the
amount.
Miss Corbaley was represented
by L. Marshall Haines, Esq, and
claimed not to be responsible for
amounts spent on the boys during
their minority, but for which no
vouchers had ever been filed or
claims passed. Joshua Clayton,
Esq, represented the bondsmen,
his argument being on similar
lines. Mr.. Crothers, representing
ahe heirs, contended that credit
could not be claimed for amounts
expended for which no vouchers
had been filed or proof offered.
The Court, in rendering an opin-
ion, decided the snch claims were
not entitled to credit, and that the
amount due the estate of Mrs.
Agnes Reynolds is $2,577.79, to be
divided into five equal shares
among the three living sons and
the two deceased sons represen-
tatives.
By agreement of counsel, judg.
ment will therefore be entered in
the Circnit Court in each of the
five cases for one. fifth of the
amount fixed by the Orphans
Court with costs in each case.
