Haul, Judge.

¶1 Boils the County ami Superior Courts have appointed Joseph Moore the administrator oí Rebecca Flecker deceased; and in the absence of all evidence in the case, tisis Court would see no reason why he ought to be removed, and another appointed. But from the evidence which accompanies this case, abundant reason is shown why he ought not to be removed.

¶2 The rights of the next of kin of Rebecca Flecker are snore likely to he legally adjusted, wises’e they are identified with similar rights claimed by Joseph Moore, both of which are to he examined and decided on in the petition now pending betweess him and Lemuel Moore.

¶3 The circumstance that Lemuel isad been previously appointed at the saíne term is not of itself a sufficient objection to the appointment of Joseph, it admits of two answers: 1st, it does not appear, that Joseph had previous notice of the intended application ; 2d, all the days of tiie term arc considered as one, and every thing is in the power of the Court during its continuance.

¶4 L’er Curiam. — Judgment affirmed.
