<p>Practice, O. G. — Decree—Uncertainty.</p> <p>An Orphans’ Court, in the adjudication of an estate, made the following decree: “The rule granted in this case is made absolute, and it is directed that the administrators of the estate of Jesse Forry, deceased, pay to the holders of the decedent’s promissory notes specified in the depositions filed in this case on or before the first Monday of August, 1912, their respective ratable proportions of the money awarded to said administrators for that purpose, by the auditor distributing said decedent’s estate, to wit: the sum of $1,815.92, with interest from the 2nd day of December, 1907.” Held, the decree does not sufficiently indicate to what persons the notes are to be paid, and as their identity was not fixed by the depositions the decree is void for uncertainty.</p>
