¶1The administratrix had nothing to do with the'real estate of the intestate, or with the support and maintenance of the children. She is therefore not entitled to credit in ber administration account, for any money expended on account of the real estate or of the children. But the supplemental account consists altogether of charges relating to these two articles. The decree of the Orphans’ Court, therefore, so far as regards the supplemental account, must be reversed.
