Cochran's Adm'r v. Sorrell

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

— The decree of the Probate Court must be reversed, on the authority of Kelly v. Garrett, 67 Ala. 304; Baker v. Keith, 72 Ala. 121; and Farley v. Riordon, 72 Ala. 128. Exceptions or objections to the allotment of a homestead having been interposed by the administrator, it was the duty of the Probate Court to have certified them to the Circuit Court for trial, and not to have entertained jurisdiction to hear and determine them.

Keversed and remanded.
