White's Estate

Opinion of the Court

Pee Cueiam,

The learned president of the orphans’ court rightly held that *209for the purpose of distribution the ground rents in question must be treated as realt3r and therefore subjects of partition. Ibis not our purpose, nor is it at all necessary, to add anything to what has been so well said by him in support of that position.'

On his opinion, the decree is affirmed and appeal dismissed with costs to be paid by appellant.
