The plaintiff did not allege or prove that the estate of the intestate had been settled when his right of action accrued. If it had not, the plaintiff had a remedy under the Gen. Sts. c. 97, §§ 8, 9, by application to the Probate Court and action against the administratrix, and therefore, by the express terms of e. 101, § 31, cannot maintain this action against the heirs. Hall v. Bumstead, 20 Pick. 2.

Exceptions overruled.
