224 HIGH COURT OF CHANCERY.
ported an account, showing the proportions of the annuity due
him as such administrator, and the proportion due the executors
of David Harris for arrearages down to the period of the death
of the said Harris, and also the amount due the said administrator
of the wife for the arrearages which accrued from the period of
the death of David Harris, on the 22d of November, 1817,
which report was, by the decree of the Chancellor of the 11th
of'January, 1821, ratified and confirmed. The amount of the
arrearages, with interest thereon, which accrued in the interval
between the deaths of David Harris and his wife Frances, is

Auditor, all of which were based upon the account of the 23(1 of

she should live.

tatives of Frances H. Harris, and of David Harris and others,
against the proper parties, praying, among other things, that
the reversion in the estate charged with the annuity and legacy
might be sold: that the claims of the several complainants
might be ascertained and established, and for general relief.
And the Auditor having made reports ascertaining the sums
