## Opinion text

Stone, J.,
delivered the following dissenting opinion:
I am of opinion that the Act of 1884, does not apply to a case where administration was granted before the passage of -that Act. I therefore dissent from so much of the opinion of the Court, that decides that question. I, however, agree to the conclusion arrived at by the Court in the opinion. This conclusion would be the same whether the account was settled under the Act of 1884, or the previous law.
