Opinion

The Court

(present, Rutledge, Ch. J. Burke, and Bay, Justices)

were clearly of opinion, that it was the duty of a legatee, or other person claiming a legacy, or distributive share of an estate, to make his claim of the executor, and shew his right to receive, before such executor could legally pay over. There was no obligation on the part of the executor, to search out the legatee ; it was enough that he was always ready, when called upon, to pay it.

Verdict for defendants.
