The final hearing in the suit to require
Mrs. Rebecca A. Butterworth to account
for some of her transactions with the es-
tate of her sister, Mrs. Samuel H.
Chambers, took place in Camden,
and resulted in the Vice
Chancellor Diminishing the entire affair.
He held that there was no testimony
to show that Mrs. Butterworth had acted
in any manner that could bring re-
proach upon her. This suit was
brought by John B. Davis, as executor
of the Chambers estate, on the insist
ence of the heirs that Mrs. Butterworth-
should be made to account for some
transactions. In dismissing the suit the
Vice Chancellor said that Mr.. Davis
had taken the right course and that his
failure to bring suit would have made
him personally liable for the desired
accounting. So the result of the suit
not only clears Mrs. Butterworth but
justifies MI. Davis in his action. Each
side was ordered to pay its own costs.
