Vaughn v. . Deloatch

Opinion of the Court

Read®, J.

The only question is, whether real estate is assets to pay debts before the same has been sold, and the proceeds received by the administrator ?

Recent decisions settle the question in the negative. 64 N. C. R., Fike v. Green, and the cases there cited.

*379 It may be, that in a case oí negligence the administrator would be liable on his bond for not obtaining license and selling ; but that is not before us.

There is error.

Pee Cueiam. Venire ele novo.
