Syllabus

<p>Appeals — Opening executor's account — Interlocutory order — Executors and administrators.</p> <p>No appeal lies from an order of the orphans’ court opening a decree of confirmation of an executor’s account upon an application promptly made by one who was a minor, unrepresented by guardian or otherwise, when the account was filed.</p> <p>In such case, where the allegations in the petition are specifically denied by the answer, and no testimony is taken to support the averments of the petition, the only matter in dispute which the orphans’ court can dispose of on bill and answer is the amount of compensation to which the executor is entitled for his services.</p> <p>An order opening a decree of confirmation of an executor’s account should state as to which items the account is opened and a re-examination allowed.</p>
