Marston, Other
Patton v. Bostwick
Opinion of the Court
This was simply a claim for a certain amount of money claimed to be due and owing upon a written agreement entered into by Victor M. Bostwick. After his decease the claim was presented against his estate, for allowance by the commissioners and was disallowed. Instead of taking an appeal a bill in chancery was filed and a decree rendered in favor of complainant. The claim in any view of the case was a proper one to be presented against the estate, and it was one which the commissioners had full power and authority
The decree must be reversed and the bill dismissed with costs.
