432 HIGH COURT OF CHANCERY.
part of the 87 shares of stock of the Farmers Bank of Mary-
land, standing in her name, were transferred into the name of
her surviving husband.
By her marriage with Conner, Mary Bevans, the daughter
of the testatrix, had five children, viz. Emma, born in 1818,
and died intestate and without issue in 1837. James Thomas,
born in 1821, Harriet, born in 1823, and died a year or two
thereafter, Henrietta, born in 1825, and Benjamin, born in 1830.
On the 11th of June, 1828, Benjamin Ogle, as executor of
Mrs. H. M. Ogle, passed in the Orphans Court of Anne Arun-
del county an additional final account, .charging himself "with
cash received for negroes under the treaty of Ghent, $3,402,
and showing a balance in hand due the estate of $3058 01, and
on the same day the said court passed the following order: "Mr.
Ogle, as executor of his mother, will charge himself with the
net amount he received for the twelve negroes belonging to her
estate, and he is allowed 10 per cent. commission upon that
amount, inasmuch as the court would have allowed that commis-
sion in case the negroes had been returned in the inventory.
The six negroes that were devised to Mrs. Bevans do not belong
to Mrs. Ogle's estate, but to Mrs. Bevans for her life, and after
her decease to her children, equally of course. The money re-
ceived for them ought to be so invested that Mrs. Bevans (now
Conner) may derive the benefit or receive the interest, and after
her decease the principal to go to her children in the same way
that the negroes would have done if they had remained in the
state of Maryland." The negroes referred to in this order had
been carried away during the late war with England.
On the 1st October, 1828, the Orphans Court made distribution
of the above balance in the hands of the executor, giving to Mrs.
Conner one-third thereof, $1,019 331/3, and to Mary R., Laura
and John T. Bevans, $679 55 each, being the residue thereof.
On the same day, Benj. Ogle, as executor of his mother, passed
a further additional final account, in which he charges himself
"with cash received for negroes under the treaty of Ghent,
$1,291 68," and showing a balance due the estate of $1,030 34,
which, on the same day, was by order of the court distributed,
