In re Miles

Superior Court of Delaware

Decided July 1, 1845

Superior Court of Delaware · decided 1845-07-01

■ Appeal from the act and decree of the Register of wills for New Castle county, on the settlement of ah administration account. The record showed a citation by the register to the appellant requiring him to settle his administration account on the estate of Wm.

Decided 1845-07-01

The Court

¶1dismissed the appeal for want of jurisdiction; considering that in the matter of settling administration accounts where there was no adversary proceeding, no parties, and no “ litigation of a cause,” the proceeding was under sec. 21 of Art. 6, of the Constitution, and not under sec. 22; and that the appeal was by way of exceptions before the Orphans’ Court, and not to this court. (3 Harr. Rep. 433, Robinson vs. Robinson.)

¶2Appeal dismissed.
