Head Matter:
In re MINTURN et al.
(Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Second Department.
February 6, 1914.)
In the matter of the accounting of John C. Minturn and another, as executors, etc., of Richard E. Jarmain, deceased.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Order reversed, with $10 costs and disbursements, for the reason that, as all of the objections filed to the account do not present naked questions of law, the learned surrogate should have heard the allegations and proofs of the parties (section 2728, Code Civ. Proc.), instead of attempting to dispose of the objections upon the recital: "Now, after examining said account, and hearing the attorneys for the representatives in favor of the account, and the attorney for the residuary legatees in opposition thereto." See, also, 145 N. Y. Supp. 1184.
