THE SOJRAKTON TRIBUNE-WEDNESDAY, MARCH 12, lUUa.
SHOULD GO TO
COMMON FLEAS
OrtNION" IN THE MATTER OF
CONNOLLY ESTATE.
Judgo Vooburg Disposes of All but
Ono Exception to tho Accounting
nnd Borers That Ono to tho Com
mon Picas Court for tho Purposes
of Having tho Pacts Determined.
Judge Cannot Plnd That tho Com
missions Charged by the Execu
tors Aro Excessive.
Judsc A. A. Vosburs, of the Or
phans' court, yesterday handed down
an opinion In the matter of the estate
of Ann A. Connolly, deceased, over
ruling all but ono of tho exceptions
to the accountant's report, and trans
mitting this exception to the court of
common pleas to have tho facts in the
matter determined. The opinion sub
stantially reads as follows:
There lias been considerable litigation in llih
n,tate. Ann A. Connolly, the testatrk, tiled en
the 28th cliy of June, 1608, IcavInK .1 will which
was probated on July 20th, ISPS, in uhti.li two or
her sons, L. Tyler Connolly and Joseph 1". Con
nolly, were named aa cvccutorn. Joeph V. Con
nolly, one of (he executory, died on l'cbruary 2.1,
l.W, and alter that time the surviving executor
tontlnuccl to attend to the duties ol his trust
until April 8, 11)01, when lie was removed by
order ol lourt. 'flic proceeding leading to his
umo.i1, was bawd upon the petition ot pome ot
the heirs, depositions vvcio taken, and the order
tif removal was then made by Judge John 1'.
Kelly.
Hip opinion (lied In that proceeding dates lint
"Although the cvuitor hied an answer denying
the i bulges contained In It (the petition) lie
Ii.h not i-crn lit to offer anv ridcncc to hustaln
bis nniwer and rontiadict the cu'dencc con
lalneil In the depositions ot the petitionee, nnd
the in liter it beloie in on the petitioners' elcpo
rltiens only." The specific came assigned by the
court tor the removal t, tint, with reference to
ji ilNpulcd rl lint of two hundred and t.cvcntj-flvc
dollars, the executor stands in a hostile position
1n the rstale. Of couise the legility or P'o
pricty ot that decree Is not hefoie me, nor do I
wish to intimate Hut under the evidence then
before the court, anv other e oni'lmlon could have
been reached. I refer tu till matter simply .is
be irlng upon Hie right of the executor to tho
coiimiK'dons ih.irgcd, which is one of the ub
jicts of attack in tlic everptions Mini in this
pioc. ceding.
hoi ii sinis iii:.iii).
Until hides have been fully lioaiil in this pro
ceeding, and 1 ilu not feel that tho fact of the
removal ef the executor, under the e ireuni-tances
just referred to, is necef-siriiy luncladic of hid
rislit to chirge commissions.
flhc Mirxix inp executor bis filed two account,
the hrst and pirtlil be count on Nov. Ii, l'W;
and the second and flu ii, on Dec. in, 1V01. Lt
eeptiens were filed to each a icouiit, ami by agree
ment of council all tin- exceptions to both ac
counts will be audited togcthci in this pio
i ceding.
Commissions arc in the mime of a biokciage
or allowance to a fielor or agent, but .1 trustee
nuv earn a conipensilion without rcccivine: a
dollar. As to (he sum to be allowed, it should
nlso depend, to some rxtcnt, upon the amount of
the fund. Circumstances may al-o affeit the
amount of commissions, as, for example, where
collection is made of Mtiill solus with great
clitSiulty, or of lane sums with almost no
trouble at all. In the formei else, five per cent,
may be inadequate, while in the latter cae, it
would bo an cxoibitant compensation. See 3
llrcwst., Or. Court I'r., hoc. Jl'il. I'nc per cent,
is the general and eudmary commission of an
executor who has carefully managed the estate.
Gilpin's lit.. 138 l'.i., l.'.J.
It. appears by the evidence, that at the time
of the death of the testatrix-, there were a num
ber of unpaid hills, and only twenty-live dollais
in eah to meet them. There was two mortgages
due the testatrix, one of $.1,000, and one of
!fl,200. Iii order to meet the indebtedness of the
est ite, and to defray expenses, as well as to pay
the legacies, it became necessary to realize upon
(lute mortgages before they became due,
s.u.i: DiFtTCUir.
The executors attempted to do so, but found
ionic difficulty in effecting a sale. Objections
xcre offered to the security offered by the
mortgage of 55,000, it being contended by those
1o whom the executors applied, that the piopcrty
mortgaged was not of sufficient value to secure
the pajment of that sum. finally the executors
secured from the Dime Deposit nnd Discount
bank, on their personal note, seemed by an as
signment of the fJ.OOJ mortgage as coUatci.il se
nility, a sufficient sum to meet the present
needs of the estate. Doth executors nt first, and
the sunMug executor later, alvi transacted the
other ouliinry business of the estate, collected
money on t lie mortgage of flic thousand, paid
the loan to the bank, paid the legacies and
debts, and appaiently did cxerj thing renuiieel
by the law except that the account was not filed
i.ntll a citation had been issued to compel an ac
counting. 1 have carefully p unfiled the records and evi
dence, nnd cannot discover ixvy want of die or
diligence upon the put of the accountant in the
management of the estate. It is t:ue thai the
exceptants allege that ho his palil some claims
which were clurges ..eauist himself, Instead of
the estate, and that he has pihl himself an al
leged debt which was not ically elue him from
the testatilx, If he li.s made a mistake in the
piviucnt of bills, this tan he corrected by a sur
thirge; but this should not debar him lioni nn
light to pay for his services In the. absence of
f land or gioss mismanagement,
Mere negligence or carelessness will not work a
fuifclttirp of commission. MuMami?' IM,, III W,
X C. 2 2.
It .jppears that about $10,000 passed through the
binds of the cxcuitois, and the i-siul commis
sion of 5 per cent, upon thin sum, would anuunt
to s-.'iOO, while the coinmi-sloiis charged ale only
ff-tiVt, or .'llii per cent., lor both executors.
Considering1 tills charge for commissions as
haling been made for one executor, I cannot
llm under all the evidence In the case, that
it Is excessive.
The exceptions telatlng to the coinmiulons
cliaigcd by the accountant ore theiefoie over
ruled and dismissed,
TESTIMONY lXMJITK'IKST.
Appreciating tho difficulty under which the cx
irpUiit labors, in procurins evidence, I luvo
eaiefully considered all the testimony he was
able to adduce, Willi u view to giving It all poa.
kihle weight, I have been unable, however, to
find sufficient in the testimony to warrant mo in
sustaining any of the other etceptlons tiled to
rilher account, with the possible execptian of
the fliil exception filed to the tint partial ac
count, iz,S that the "Accountant falls to charge
himself- w lib $275, the amount which he owes
tho said estate, having boirowcd the said amount
just previous to the death ot said Ami Connolly,"
The evidence effcred to sustain this exception Is
not strong, and it is met with evidence which
teems to indicate that no such debt vvus due,

Connolly as the defendant. As this Issue w.u not
specifically requested, It will not bo certified to
the court of common plena for trial, unless t oun

of this report, a praecipe directing the said clctk
to certify the nild issue lo ead court of common

in said ten days, I hen this exception, the first
one filed to the first account, will stand over
ruled. All the oilier exceptions filed for both
accounts are overruled, if no cicepllons, and no
praecipe for an Issue ore filed within ten eljjj,
the counsel for the accountant will prepare .a
schedule nnd decree of distribution In accord
ance with this rcnort, allowing 113 preferred
claims upon the fund the sum of $1.1 due the clerk

to accountant for the cost of discharge, ami the
sum of $25, allowed for the fees of accountants'

The New Trolley Road.
Ualls for tho new Huzleton and
Wilkes-Barre trolley road will be here
next week, and in six weeks the gran
gers of Butler and Conyngham valley
will be shipping their butter and eggs
to the Huzleton market by trolley.
Progress on tho new road is being
made quite satisfactory, though In the
tunnel, work is not moving with the
celerity that was hoped for. Over one
third of the excavation has now been
made nnd it will take the balance of
the summer to complete the job.
Lnst evening Mr. Doud, of the Lehigh
Traction company, stated that they
were pushing the construction with nil
possible speed nnd expected to. be hand
ling their own material for the road In
the course of a few weeks. The order
for rails, fish-plates, etc., bus already
been placed. To the valley by trolley
Is now but a question of a few weeks.
