Idem—Rale of realty—Confirmation.—Under Code, § 2609, the chancery court may order sale of ward’s realty when it appears that his proper maintenance and education, or other interests require the proceeds beyond annual income thereof, to be applied for his use; but if, when the court is called upon to confirm such sale, the necessity therefor, which seemed to exist when the sale was ordered, shall have ceased, it i s proper that the court should refuse to confirm the sale.</p>
