Green, J. The views of this court upon the main questions presented by counsel will be found fully expressed in the opinion filed in the cases of Foskett v. Wolf, 19 Ill. App. 33, and Beaird v. Wolf, 19 Ill. App. 36, and it is only necessary to say here, the evidence in this record shows that in July, 1886, the estate of French (of whose will Wolf xvas executor) xvas settled, and at that time the full dividend alloxved on seventh-class claims had been paid, but the record does not shoxv at what time. Wolf \ with his own means, paid such dividend in full, and to entitle him to recover his claim against the estate of Gliarst, the evidence must show a cause of action accrued at the time. Tills is not shown. Counsel for Wolf, in their brief, suggest great hardships will be suffered by him if this claim be not alloxved, but he could have avoided loss by observing and obeying the plain provisions of the statute prescribing his duties as executor, and if loss is suffered by him it results from his disregard of those provisions. The judgment of the court below is reversed. It ever seel.
