442 HIGH COURT OF CHANCERY. brother and next friend of Mrs. Bevans, praying that a part of the money invested for her should be converted into land— which, on the 6th, the Chancellor decided could not be done on that petition, B. Ogle having declined the trust. On the 24th of February, 1816, B. Ogle passed his first and final account as executor in the Orphans Court of Anne Arun- del county, leaving a balance of $7425 48. On the 27th, the Orphans Court passed an order directing the executor to pay over and deliver unto John Addison, the guardian of the minor children of George and Mary Bevans, the property in his hands to which, said children are entitled under the will of H. M. Ogle, and on the same day the executor paid over property and notes to the amount of $5929 20. Whether the whole has been paid is a matter of dispute. On the 11th of June, 1828, a paper was left on file in the Orphans Court of Anne Arundel county, by B. Ogle, showing himself as executor of H. M. Ogle, to have received for eigh- teen slaves the net sum of $3402 00, paid under the treaty of Ghent, upon which the court passed an order the same day, directing him to charge himself for the net amount received for twelve negroes belonging to her estate, and stating that 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 de- cease to her children equally. Of course the money received for them ought to be so invested that Mrs. Bevans, now Mrs. Conner, may derive benefit or receive 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. In pursuance of this order, he passed his final account on the » same day, showing the balance to be divided; and on the 1st of October of the same year, passed an additional final account of a further sum from the same source, and on the same day distributions were made, giving to Mrs. Bevans one-third of each balance and dividing the residue between her children, the the Bevans. Her part was invested in the land in Washington county, and the portion of her children paid over to them. |
