Ter, as to his financial liabilities
The court stated it had digested the
points cited in one of the briefs presented

tanned so many citations it would be i'm
possible to decide the matter just then, and
1t was continued until to-day.
The court announced having received
an application for the laying out of new
road in the township of southampton,
beginning at the Vincentown to Column
Dus road and running In an easterly direct
ion to the boundary line of Pemberton
township. There was a request in the
petition asking for the appointment of six
surveyors. The document was duly sign
ed by the required number of property
owners.
The court deferred action however, as
Judge Horner said he wanted to become
familiar with new law on this subject,
which had become operative by Governor
wilson having signed the bill after its pas
sage by the Legislature.
Inc deferred case against George G.
baltz, colored, of Mount Holly, was called
out no action could be taken by reason ,of
the TACT that serious illness caused a re-
moyal of the prisoner to the Burlington

500, resulting from an erroneous appraise-
ment of bonds of the Japanese government.
which were never an asset of the estate,
the error having been caused BY improper
punctuation, and of 81, 500. O6, an error in
appraisement of stocks of the Pepnsvl-
vania Railroad Company, amounting In
all to $31, O2O O6, it left the Aikman estate
In this country worth $139, 200. 80. Its total
value is about $500, 900, the other part be-
ing an estate in Scotland. from which the
owner never drew dollar. That estate
was disposed of by the courts in Scotland
as separate and distinct issue.

Reginald Branch gave the court some in
timatfon of the large amount of work he
had to perform and of the frequent trips
which called him to distant cities and

relationship, of which there are several,
He said he thought he had fully earned
counsel fee of $4,000 Miss Aikman died
over two years ago During her lifetime
her affairs were in charge of Noah E.
Wright, Mr.. VAIN, /. Snowden Haines,
and others.
On behalf of Mr.. Haines 1t was sug-
gested by counsel that he be allowed some
compensation, but the court thought If
there was anything due Mr.. Haines for
looking after the estate, and it was the
opinion of the counsel that there might
be, he should present bill against the
estate, providing his services were not of
a voluntary nature. AS the predecessors
evidently received nothing for their work
In this respect, Mr.. Haines will renounce
all claim for any compensation which
might be legally due him.
During the afternoon session an array
of counsel made their arguments in the
contested will case in the Patrick Scully
estate. of Florence. Decision was reserv
