Opinion.
Citation on the final account of the appellants’ testator, administrator of one Livingston, ivas served personally on the distributees alone, who were infants. There was no appointment of a guardian ad litem for them.
The service on the infants was unauthorized by law and amounted to nothing. It was essential that a guardian ad litem should be appointed, and the decree is, therefore, void. See Burrus v. Burrus, 56 Miss. 92.
Decree affirmed.
