1Opinion of the Court
Dent, Judge:
The heirs of John G. Coffman, deceased, instituted a suit in the Circuit Court of Harrison county for the distribution and partition of his estate. At the May term, 1894, a decree was entered excluding John M. Coffman, son, and Frederick W. Coffman, Ulysses S. Coffman, Winfield B. Coffman, Willis F. Coffman, and John N. Coffman, grandchildren, being the children of Alonzo B. Coffman, a deceased son, from participating in said estate by reason of advancements made during the lifetime of decedent to said sons. And this is the sole question presented by this appeal.
