Marmaduke Wood v. Pardon S. Brown, His Co-Executor, Appellant

Summary

The Court of Appeals affirmed the lower court's decree ordering the co‑executor to deposit the estate's papers and funds in the Bank of Chenango and to give the plaintiff free access, while rejecting the removal of the executor. The court held that equity courts may compel an accounting and regulate executor conduct, but lack statutory authority to revoke letters testamentary.
