Arches Court of Canterbury - Michaelmas Term, December 3. An executrix condemned to pay legacies. DENT, by his Guardian, against DENT. Robert DENT made his will 29th November, 1746; made his wife Ann executrix and residuary legatee, and gave her 500l. three percent. Bank Annuities for life, and the reversion thereof equally to be divided betweeen his two sons, Robert and Benjamin, and gave said Benjamin 100l towards his maintenance, which he leaves tot he discretion of his executrix and gives him some specific legacies; in October 1748, the wife proved this will; 5th November 1748, she made her will, and appointed said Robert her son executor, who proved her will and took administration cum testamento to his father: the widow died in said month of Nov. 1748, a very short time after her husband.

4th Sess. Hill. Term, 1753, Benjamin Dent , by his guardian, commenced a suit against Robert for the aforesaid legacies, left him in his father's will: Robert appeared; libel given in on behalf of Benjamin, and a negative issue; Benjamin's proctor exhibited copies of the wills of Robert the father, and Ann the executrix of Robert; the adverse proctor confessed the subscriptions and identities; on 16th July 1753, Robert was excommunicated for not giving in her personal answers.

1 Sess. Mich. 1753, the excommunication was returned, and the cause was called on; Robert did not plead a plene administravit.

Per Curiam - I gave sentence ex parte, condemned Robert to pay the legacies sued for by Benjamin with interest, for the pecuniary legacy of 100l. and the dividens that had become due since the mother's death on Benjamin's moiety of the 500l. three percent Bank Annuities, and condemned Robert in 24l. costs.

N.B. I had no other evidence before me but the clause of the father's will, by which the legacies were given, which Robert's proctor had confessed.
