Syllabus

<p>Syllabus.</p> <p>1. A widow in community who is perfectly able to insist upon a prompt liquidation and partition of a succession which is under administration, who does not do so, but permits repeated annual aeconnts of administration to be homologated without opposition, can not hold the administrator personally responsible on the ground that the prolonged administration had resulted in injury instead of benefit to the succession. She can not speculate on the results.</p> <p>2. An administrator making a number of partial payments on interest bearing debts due by the succession should apply the rule of partial payments to the debts, and not allow interest to run to the date of final payment, and then deduct the total amount of partial payments.</p>
