Syllabus

<p>Decedents' estates — Orphans' court sale — Estoppel.</p> <p>While the orphans’ court has no jurisdiction to authorize an administrator to sell a decedent’s real estate at private sale for the payment of debts; yet where it has been so sold and -the guardian of the decedent’s son is cited to appear and make any objection that he might have to the sale, and the proceeds of the sale are applied to the payment of decedent’s debts, thereby relieving land in another county descending to the son, the son cannot after the expiration of eight years, in an action of ejectment, recover the land sold by the administrator. See act of June 12, 1893, P. L. 461.</p>
