Supreme Court of Pennsylvania · decided 1886-05-17
A. H. Shaw, A. B. Shaw, and Joseph Shaw were appointed executors of Bichard Shaw. On January 1, 1879, the first partial account of the executor was filed in the orphans’ court of Clearfield county. Upon this account commissions were allowed to the executors in the sum of $2,700. This sum was paid to A. B. Shaw in a lump.
Affirmed · Decided 1886-05-17
¶1If the learned judge committed any error in this case, it was in being too favorable to the plaintiff in error. There is certainly nothing giving him any just cause of complaint. When a sum of money is decreed to two persons jointly, and one of them claims more than a moiety thereof, he takes on himself the burden of proving, in some manner, his right thereto.
¶2Judgment affirmed.
