On Motion for Rehearing.
We are not unmindful of the decisions of this court and others construing the provisions of our statutes, in insolvent estates, in respect to the right of the administrator to apply the proceeds of the sale of mortgaged property to certain claims. Our views on this subject are well expressed in Rodgers v. Sturgis National Bank, 152 S. W. 1179, opinion by Chief Justice Key.
This opinion is based upon the findings of fact of the.trial judge that the estate is not shown to be insolvent, and we have no reason to set aside that finding.
This is an independent administration, and there are no creditors seeking any priorities for us to pass upon. The independent executor intervened, and made the defense against the foreclosure of the mortgage, and he failed to establish such a state of facts as to show any grounds to have any claims paid out of that fund, and thus deprive the diligent creditor of the benefits of his security.
Motion for rehearing overruled.
