Decided 1811-01-15
¶1declared the opinion of the whole court, that the decision was correct; A. A. 1787. The Ordinaries in a case like the present, have concurrent jurisdiction. It is so-declared by a former act of assembly. The granting administration by any one, concludes the other. As to the right of revocation, in was pro. perly exercised in the first instance, and the second grant of administration was legal and proper. No ground has been shewn why the last grant should be repealed.
¶2Motion rejected.
