Opinion
In the Matter of the Judicial Settlement of the Accounts of Minnie Clifford and Another, as Executors of the Estate of Minnie Hasselman, Deceased.
[MAJORITY]
Decree reversed on the law and facts in the exercise of discretion, without costs, and matter remitted to the Surrogate’s Court for a new trial on the ground that the decision of the former surrogate is so obscure and indefinite that no proper decree can be entered thereon. All concur. (The decree adjudges the amount unpaid on a legacy and directs the payment thereof upon the executors’ accounting.) Present — Sears, P. J., Taylor, Thompson, Crosby and Lewis, JJ.
