Certificate that due notice has been given of the filing of the Acct for presentation during August Term 1807. Witness my hand & seal Aug 21, 1807 Alexd McClean Reg. "Aug 20, 1808 on motion & argument, the court order the items No 87 & 88 to be suspended until it shall be ascertained whether the claimants are entitled to the same or any part thereof by suits to be instituted by them respectively at law. Exceptions to John Shreve, Admr accounts filed 11th Apr 1808. Furgus Moorhead, on behalf of his wife Rebecca, late Rebecca Shreve one of the daughters of Col Israel Shreve decd objects to the following items in the acct of the Exrs of Israel Shreve which have been stated & admitted by the register & are now depending before the orphans court for confirmation To item No 60 in favor of Caleb Shreve $160.92 To item no 87 in favor of the same 267.63 To item no 88 in favor of John Shreve 1,250.90 He prays also that this court wd order the pursuation of all the vouchers, books of accounts & other documents on which the payment of these respective accounts are claimed & have been admitted. And he objects to the allowance of any of them because they are of a nature & complexion suspicious & sustained by no testimony which in his conception wd enable the claimants to support a suit for the recovery of them at law and because some of the executors have disagreed to the payment or allowance of these accounts believing them improper. He lastly requests that this court wd direct if they deem it expedient a trial at law by jury, whether these accounts shd be pd out of the estate or not. Fergus Moorhead.
