In case there be no stock, crop or provisions on hand, the year’s support may be allotted by commissioners from the personal property of the decea and also any debt known to be due him, and said allotment shall vest the said property in the widow and her right to collect said debt. Where there is no administration, or the widow is administratrix, the widow may apply to the Justice.—Revisal, secs. 3092, 3093, 3098. ’ Be l l a m y , Lu c i n d y 19 4 7 ee e IN TH E MA T T E R OF De c e a s e d . —— RE P O R T OF CO M M I S S I O N E R S AL L O T T I N G YE A R ’ S SU P P O R T —_ — _ — — — — Fo r m 34 2 — 2 M — 9 - 5 - 4 1 — 0 - 8 8 ay BO aes a eet “a ten aiteye Lila 1 tele 4, Mathes ae ee ga SS Oe 8 of bfx deed Concer Yroene& a ME a ae Go 4, Mehces cP ee Fae ey Ated toetd . 4 ‘ LE° 6 Ge ae Site % EZ Minx ph lbir.Gf aud hin deck healer, Vurlaig . ; ney CC Goext 6 Etlats ath iacd tpncicn .

There is actually no net estate. In fact, Mrs. Eutrella Brown Benfield has advanced more money than the value of the personal property amounted to, and, therefore, all of the personal property has been transferred and assigned to her as of a complete and absolute sale therein. 9, Of course, Mrs. Eutrella Brown Benfield makes no charge for her commissions and for services rendered.
