North v. Lowe
63 Miss. 31 | Miss. | 1885
delivered the opinion of the court.
"When the administrator objected to the allowance of the claims in favor of the appellee they should have been established by competent evidence. The fact that the accounts had been probated and registered amounted to nothing, and proof of their correctness was necessary. The evidence offered was not sufficient to establish the claims, and the decree allowing them is reversed, and the cause remanded for further proceedings in the chancery court.
