¶2This is a claim for the refund of $12,096.14 inheritance tax paid in the estate of Christian Buehler, deceased. It is claimed that this amount was paid in excess of the amount that should have been paid.

¶4After examination of the files in the case, this court concurs in the objection of the Attorney General, as to the allowance of the payment of the last above mentioned sum.

¶5The Attorney General consents to an allowance of $6,-708.57 in this case.

¶6Therefore, it is recommended that the claimant be awarded the sum of $6,708.57.
