Opinion:
Colcock, J.
We concur with the presiding Judge in this case. The ordinary had no jurisdiction, as has been repeatedly rlc.cided. The sureties can know nothing of the transactions of - ® the administrator. If the estate were represented, it might appear, from vouchers to be found among the papers of the ad-m- i.sirator, that the debt was paid.
