Syllabus

<p>(a) A guardian loaned money of Ms ward to a manufacturing company of which the guardian was a member. Pending proceedings in the Orphans’ Court, in the settlement of his final account, the ward filed a bill in equity against the guardian and the other members of the company, for discovery and an account of profits made while using the ward’s money:</p> <p>1. The money having been loaned to the company in good faith, solely • to obtain a good rate of interest upon the ward’s estate, the bill against the members of the company other than the guardian was demurrable for want of equity; and, the Orphans’ Court having exclusive jurisdiction of the guardian’s accounts, the proceeding pending thereon was a bar to the bill against the guardian.</p>
