CRAPSTER v. GRIFFITH. 13

The most material point in controversy is, that respecting the
settlement in money, or in specific articles, as to which the Chan-
cellor has already expressed his opinion, which is not altered.
The objection to the credit of $150, on account of the negro girl,
appears to be reasonable, inasmuch as the complainants, on setting
aside the settlement or receipt No. 6, ought not to retain any
benefit arising from it. The negro girl ought, therefore, to be
returned, as also the land, which, not being conveyed, the auditor
did not bring into the account. This will render necessary an
alteration in the account No. 3, which is made in an account
stated by the Chancellor marked No. 5, leaving the balance in mo-
ney $235 83, instead of $41 88. The Chancellor does not per-
ceive any thing in the evidence from which a greater allowance
could be made for the maintenance of the complainant Harriet;
nor, as the proceedings stand, can he direct any alteration as to
the repairs, or the maintenance of the young negroes. And, with
respect to the settlement of the guardian's account by the Orphans
Court, he is under the impression, that the balance of £288 12s. 7d.
supposing it not altered materially by the succeeding years, would
give a value in negroes, estimated according to the appraisement,
much greater than the one reported by account No. 4.

DECREED, that, on the complainant's tendering, or offering, on
condition of an immediate compliance with this decree, to deliver
to the defendant the possession of the nine and three-quarters acres
of land, and the negro girl, mentioned in the proceedings, as part
of the consideration from the defendant, on account of which the
receipt, or release exhibit No. 6, was given, the defendant Lyde
Griffith, do forthwith pay to the complainants, or bring into this
court, the sum of two hundred and thirty-five dollars eighty-three
cents, with interest thereon from the 19th day of December, 1813,
till paid or brought in; and do also forthwith pay over and deliver
to the said complainants the following negro slaves named and de-
scribed in account No. 4; being one half of the personal estate in
kind, to wit, one negro lad named Ben; one negro lad named
Joseph; one negro lad named Roderick; one negro woman named
Lucy; and one negro girl named Henny—the Chancellor having
made the division or distribution in the manner stated by the audi-
tor; because no cause has been shewn to the contrary, notwith-
standing the service of the order of the 18th of January, on the
defendant.
