Ashburn v. Ashburn
Opinion of the Court
By the Court.
delivering the opinion.
■ And as these several estates now stand, it is impossible for the Court of Ordinary to adjust them. Resort should be had to a Court of Equity, whose jurisdiction is ample over administrations, situated as this is, to administer full relief, by talcing an account between the estates of Mr. and Mrs. Edwards, dividing the property or ordering a sale, by the administrator, of the whole or any portion thereof, at such times and upon such terms as it may direct, and securing to Mrs. Ashburn a suitable settlement, as prayed for by her’bill, both out of the estates of her deceased father and her deceased mother also, should any surplus of the latter remain, after settling with her husband’s estate and discharging the indebtedness, if any,, hanging over her own.
