one year, was commenced this morning
when Henry Farwell of Montpelier was
cited into probate court for a settlement
OF the estate of Marie White, late of
Montpelier. This action and others of a
similar nature that will follow, are the
result of recent legislation, and over
which there was considerable strife
few months ago to get an enactment OF a
law. Mrs. Grace Haskins of Barre has
settled her final account as executrix of
the estate of William +. Haskins, late of
Barre. Benjamin Gates settled his final
account as administrator of the estate of
Petsey Farrell, late Of Montpelier.

asking that the master wind up the af-
fairs Of the Waterbury River Free Bap-
