Syllabus

<p>EXECUTORS AND ADMINISTRATORS-COMPENSATION.</p> <p>The refusal of the court to allow an administrator his full claim for services in the management of two estates jointly is warranted, where it appears that he was the administrator of the estates of both the ancestor and the sole heir, that both estates comprised the same property, that the same services were rendered and the same accounting had in both of them, and that upon the final settlement of the ancestor’s estate he had been fully compensated for all his services rendered up to that date.</p> <p>SAME.</p> <p>The fact that the court in allowing an adminstrator the statutory compensation for services fails to include the real property of the estate as a basis from which to estimate -commissions upon the amount of the estate accounted for is not error, in the absence of any showing as to the value of the land.</p>
