$313.10. On the day of AD 18. said accountant filed a second partial account in
said estate which was also duly confirmed showing a balance in the hands of the
accountant of $3,247.66 for distribution among the heirs as this appears to
have been the proceeds of the sale of Real estate the Administrator without the
intervention of an auditor appears to have distributed the two thirds of said
fund among the heirs and legal Representatives of the decedent and returned the
remaining one third in his hands upon which he paid the interest to the widow
of the decedent during her lifetime the widow having died the accountant then
filed his final account of the remaining one third from which the fund for
