73 P. 1059 | Cal. | 1903
This is an appeal of the administrator from an order of settlement of his final account and of distribution of the estate. The appellant, it appears, is the son of deceased, and was indebted to him at the time of his death in the sum of thirteen hundred dollars, with interest at the rate of six per cent from January 2, 1896, secured by promissory note of that date. The note was valued in the inventory at six hundred and fifty dollars, and is charged at that amount in the administrator's account. But in the words of the order of settlement: "The court charges the administrator with fifteen hundred dollars as the amount he should have applied of his own funds to said note — making an additional charge of eight hundred and fifty dollars." This is assigned as an error in the bill of exceptions, and is the only error complained of, or that need be considered. It is in effect found by the court that the appellant had received during his administration sufficient sums of money of his own to have enabled him to pay the sum of fifteen hundred dollars on his note; nor is this fact disputed. Assuming this to be the case, it would follow, in the absence of other facts affecting the position that the appellant was accountable for the amount charged against him. (Code Civ.
