House, J.
(dissenting). This case was submitted to the trial court on a stipulation of facts. On the facts as stipulated it appears that after the two-year delay in the sale of the property it was sold at a higher price than originally contemplated. I cannot agree, however, that the stipulation of facts supports the conclusion of the court that it was the action of the plaintiffs which resulted in this higher *438price and the accrual of substantial benefits to the estate. That the sun rose after the cock crowed does not support a conclusion that the sun rose as a result of the crowing. In the absence of a stipulation or proof that the increased price for the property came about not only subsequent to but as a result of the plaintiffs’ actions, I am of the opinion that the judgment should not be sustained.
