Opinion of the Court
— The suit ivas brought against the defendant, appellee itere, in his representative capacity as administrator of the estate of Bartley Harris, deceased, yet the complaint shows no cause of action against the defendant in such representative capacity. If the money claimed by the plaintiff as had and received by the defendant for plaintiff’s use and benefit constituted assets of the estate which came into the defendant’s hands as administrator, then the complaint wholly fails to show any cause of action in the plaintiff.—Lowery v.
