Syllabus

<p>Contract of decedent — Mispayment to widow — Set-off—Quasi administration.</p> <p>An executory contract was made by decedent to deliver pork to defendants. After liis death, pork, belonging to the estate, was delivered by the widow and payment made to her and not to the administrator. Held, in a suit by the administrator to recover the price of the pork, that a verdict for the plaintiff would have been properly directed had allowance been made for a set-off of so much of the money received by the widow as was applied in quasi administration by her for the payment of debts due by the decedent, and which payments, if properly made, were in relief of the estate.</p>
