<p>Practice, O. C. — Decree—Piling exceptions nunc pro tunc — Fraud.</p> <p>Where a decree nisi of the orphans’ court has become final under the rule, the court may permit exceptions to the adjudication to be filed nunc pro tunc, if application is made therefor by the parties in interest promptly within the term, and it appears that the claimants are nonresidents, that they were without actual knowledge of the proceedings, and in their application allege that the administratrix had appropriated all of the personal estate, and had secured a decree in her favor for an additional amount chargeable on the real estate, in payment of an alleged claim for nursing and other services for six years, which nursing and services had never in fact been performed.</p>
