Syllabus

<p>1. A statement of claim, in an action by an administrator of a decedent against a beneficial association, averring that the benefit certificate sued on was upon the life of the wife of the decedent, and was made payable to her, shows no cause of action in the plaintiff.</p> <p>2. In view of § 1, act of April 15, 1868, P. L. 108, an averment that the certificate is part of the decedent’s estate, and that he left no other estate for the payment of his debts, funeral expenses, etc., but disclosing no process by which the title became transferred to him, is of no significance.</p>
