In re O'Niel
2 Redf. 544
Opinion of the Court
The husband’s administrator was not a relative of the deceased wife entitle'^'to succeed-to her personal estate, and under the statute only such relatives are entitled to letters of administration (2 Rev. Stat. 74..§ 27).
It is true that an exception to this rule is made in favor of the husband of a married woman dying intestate, but it is limited to him personally. (Id., § 27 and 29).
Application refused.
