DAVIS CASE DECIDED

Associate Judges Philemon B Hopper
and William H. Adkins, in the Circuit
Court for Cecil County, in Equity, have
handed down an opinion in the case of
William T. Warburton, surviving admin
istrator of James A. Davis, VS.. Anthony
S. Davis and Kate T. Davis, seeking to
compel Anthony S Davis to account for
the partnership property and estate of
James A. Davis and Son. The opinion,
which is lengthy one, concludes as fol-
lows: 1T is adjudged, decreed and or
dered by the Circuit Court for Cecil
County, sitting as Court of Equity
that the plaintiffs prayer to this Court
to direct an account of the partnership
affairs of James A. Davis and Son by the
surviving partner be, and it is hereby
refused, and that the plaintiffs bill filed
in this cause be, and it is hereby dis
missed with costs to the defendant"
The bill in this case was filed in Sep
tember, 1910 From the opinion handed
down 1t appears that after the death OF
James A. Davis in November, 1894 An
thony S. Davis and James C. Davis, ad-
ministered upon his estate. Some years
afterward James C. Davis died, and OBJ
lection being made to Anthony s. Davis
as sole administrator, Charles C. Croth-
ers and William T. Warburton were ap-
pointed administrators Of the personal
estate of James A. Davis. Mr.. Crothers
died and Mr.. Warburton continued as
sole administrator, but never demanded
an account of the partnership affairs
until 1910, after the books and papers
of the firm had been lost in a flood and
persons qualified to testify to material
matters had died. The testimony in the
case having shown no Irregularities in
the proceedings of Anthony S. Davis in
closing up the partnership business, in
which he held a two-thirds interest as
an equal partner and as an heir of James
A. Davis, and such length of time hav-
ing elapsed without objection to said
settlement the case was dismissed.
Mr. Warburton was represented in the
case by Henry A. Warburton, Esq, and
Robert p. Shck, Esq, of Philadelphia; /;
Mr.. Davis was represented by William S.
Evans and James F. Evans, Esqs.
