1Opinion of the Court

FOSTER, Justice.

This is an appeal from a final decree denying relief to complainant in a suit in equity filed by authority of section 145, Title' 13, Code. This statute authorizes a suit in equity by an injured party to correct any error of law or fact in the settlement of an estate. The nature of the error which is thus subject to correction is discussed in Evans v. Evans, 200 Ala. 329, 76 So. 95; Morgan v. Gaiter, 182 Ala. 322, 62 So. 731; Adams v. Walsh, 190 Ala. 516, 67 So. 432. No question is here raised as to the sufficiency of the bill in that respect.
