Smith v. Mullen

The appellee, John Mullen, as administrator of the estate of F. M. Smith, deceased, presented an account in favor of himself individually against the estate of Smith in the sum of $2,206.28. The account was duly verified, and was by Mullen allowed as administrator and classed as a fourth class claim. The claim was presented to the probate court by the appellee, Mullen, for allowance, and was contested by the widow and heirs of Smith. The probate court allowed the claim in the sum of $898.02, and rejected the claim for the balance. Mullen appealed to the circuit court.
