Syllabus

<p>Practice, O. 0. — Restatement of account.</p> <p>The orphans’ court may permit an administratrix to restate an account where it is shown to the court that the account as originally filed blended the proceeds of the real and personal estate of the decedent, and did not include certain noninventoried items which the administratrix had collected.</p> <p>Practice, 8. 0. — Auditor—Finding of fact.</p> <p>Where an administratrix states an account of the proceeds of sale of real estate, and the whole fund is awarded to a judgment creditor, the validity and priority of whose lien has not been denied, the Supreme Court will not disturb the award because the auditor did not make a distinct finding that the judgment was first in point of lien.</p>
