4 Serg. & Rawle 201
Decided May 29, 1818
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania · decided 1818-05-29
THIS was an appeal from a decree of the Register’s Court of the county of Lebanon, revoking letters of administration granted to Adam Stoever, jun. on the estate of Stroh deceased, and directing letters of administration to be granted to Christian Ludwig and Elizabeth his wife; to which Wright, for the appellant, excepted, 1. Because the Register’s Court had no jurisdiction of the matter. 2.
Decided 1818-05-29
¶1We think the Register’s Court did right. It appears, that the deceased left no children, but a *202mother and a sister of the half-blood, the wife of Adam Stoever jun. In that case, the mother was next of kin, and exclusively entitled to the administration. The Register’s Court had a fight to revoke the first letters and direct to whom the new ones should issue.
¶2Decree affirmed.
