1Opinion of the CourtMorton, J.
This is an appeal by an administrator from a decree of the Probate Court in Worcester County disallowing certain items in his account. At the hearing before the Chief Justice, the appellee desired to contest other items in the account besides those involved in the appeal of the administrator, but the court ruled that it was not open to her to contest other independent items. The appellee does not question now the correctness of the ruling, and we think that it clearly was right. Boynton v. Dyer, 18 Pick. 1. Harris v. Harris, 153 Mass. 439.
