1Opinion of the Court
Jackson, Justice.
This was a bill filed by the heirs of John West to recover certain shares of stock in the Eagle & Phenix Manufacturing Company of Columbus, alleged to have been illegally sold at private sale by James N. West, who was the Georgia administrator on said estate. The intestate died in Kentucky, and there was administration there on the bulk of the estate by Kobert West, one of the heirs. The verdict was for the complainants, a motion was made for a new trial, it was overruled by the presiding judge, and this refusal to grant the new trial is the complaint before this court.
