88 Ky. 24 | Ky. Ct. App. | 1888
delivered the opinion of the court.
The statutory guardian of Eliza Sutfield filed its: petition against its ward, Eliza, and her infant sister Florence, and her statutory guardian, John H. Leathers, the widow and two adult children of the decedent, all of whom are made defendants, asking the sale of two tracts of land owned jointly by the ‘defendants,, lying in Henry, Oldham and Hardin counties, and the-sale of some city lots in Louisville for the purpose of reinvestment, alleging that the sale of all the property will redound greatly to the interest of its ward. The-adult heirs and the widow file an answer, in which they consent to the sale, and ask a division of the proceeds; the widow agreeing to accept the value of her dower in money, and joining in the prayer of the petition. Leathers, the guardian of Florence, both being served with process, filed his answer asking a sale of the entire property for the benefit of his ward, and an investment of the proceeds so as to produce an income. His ward, Florence, is not made a defendant to his pleading, but is a defendant to the original action-
The widow and the two adult children all ask for the sale, and both of the infants are before the court.
It is objected by the appellant that no bond was. executed by the guardian of the infant, as required by the statute. A bond was executed by Leathers, as the guardian of Florence, with sureties, and a bond executed by the Louisville Safety Yault and Trust Company, the guardian of Eliza, under a provision of its charter that provides: “The capital of said 'company shall be taken and considered as the security required by law for the faithful performance of its duties, and other security shall not be required upon its appointment to any of the offices or duties, mentioned herein,”-Acts 1883-84, vol. 2, p. 280. Now, if the bond is good, executed by its President alone,.
The judgment below, overruling the exceptions to the commissioner’s report, is affirmed.
