1Opinion of the CourtJustice Thompson
In the Hopkins estate there was only $136.70 of household goods to he sold. The remainder of the estate was all on deposit in various Quincy banks. There was only one claim over which there was any contest. The amount claimed was $2,900, and it was settled for $1,000.
In the Murphy estate there was a claim for $3,500 presented which was never tried but was dismissed.
