M'Laurin v. Thompson
M'Laurin v. Thompson
Opinion of the Court
delivered the opinion of the Court.
In these cases, as upon the circuit, I still think that the removal of the administrator from the State, does not of itself justify the Ordinary in revoking his letters of administration. But in this case, the Ordinary had granted administration anew to another. This seems to be equivalent to a judgment of revocation; and as the administrator M’Bryde is not contesting this grant of administration, we must, I think now, regard it as a revocation. In Grimke’s Law of Executors, 197,
The motion to reverse the decision below is granted, and the cases are remanded to the Circuit Court, to be further heard and adjudged on the appeal from the Ordinary.
