Syllabus

<p>Executors and Administrators—Final Settlement—Pendency of Litigation—Jurisdiction. An objection to tbe jurisdiction of tbe court to settle tbe final account of executors, because of the pendency of appeals in the supreme court in litigation concerning the distribution of the'property, is unavailing, where at the time of the hearing in the supreme court such appeals have been finally determined.</p> <p>Same—Findings—Recitals—Separate Character of Property— Former Adjudication in Course of Administration — Finality. Upon the final distribution of an estate, error cannot be predicated on recitals in the findings as to the separate and community character of the property, and the findings cannot be reviewed, where that matter had formerly been determined in the course of administration in special proceedings for the purpose, and the findings made no change in that respect.</p> <p>Same—Debts—Findings. A finding upon the final settlement of the estate that there are no debts, is sustained where the evidence showed no debts except funeral expenses and the costs of administration, and the only bill presented was disallowed.</p>
