Parties | LEWIS v. CARSON et al. |
Court | Missouri Supreme Court |
Appeal from St. Louis court of appeals. On rehearing.
Action by M. D. Lewis, public administrator, against James O. Carson, removed administrator of the estate of John B. Carson, deceased, and his sureties, to ascertain the amount of money and property in his hands. Judgment in the probate court was rendered for plaintiff for the sum of $8,752.55; upon appeal by defendants, affirmed by the circuit court; but, upon further appeal to the St. Louis court of appeals, reversed. Plaintiff appealed to the supreme court, which reversed the judgment of the court of appeals, affirming that of the circuit court, and defendants moved for a rehearing. For opinion of the supreme court on appeal, see 3 S. W. Rep. 483.

He is not deprived of any credit for moneys paid to the special legatees, so that a discussion of his right thereto is not required to a disposition of this case. These accounts are of long standing, and it was deemed proper to interfere with them so far only as the demands of creditors of the estate required. There was, it is true, other real estate belonging to the estate of John B. Carson. The record does not show when that property was sold by the devisees, but it seems to be conceded that it was sold after the administration had been closed in the probate court, and before the commencement of the suit to set aside that final settlement. However that may be, it is manifest we cannot undertake to adjust the rights, whatever they may be, between those purchasers and the surety on the bond of the late administrator in...
