M'Auslan v. Green

Supreme Court of North Carolina
M'Auslan v. Green, 1 N.C. 33 (N.C. 1800)
Johnston, MacAy

M'Auslan v. Green

Opinion of the Court

Johnston, Judge—

The widow has a claim to no more than one third of the intestate’s estate, and a commission of five per centum is fully adequate to the services of the administrator, such as they appear to me.

Macay, Judge—

I am of opinion that the widow of the intestate, is entitled to one third part of the personal estate, and to no more. Acts of 1784, Sec. 8, and Chap. 22: and that commissions ought to be allowed at the rate of five per centum,

Decree accordingly.
