DECISIONS  ' — 1'  Tbe  plfvintLQ'wM  heiress  at  kw  to  the  defendanVs  vendors
but  had  reoounced  to  tbe  estate.  The  question  was  whether  the  pluintiff,  afier
rentiDciatJQTij  had  done  anything  to  render  herself  liable  as  lieireas  at  law*  She
bad  appropriated  £4<}  belonging  to  the  estate,  but  she  had  done  so  tilling  the
curator  of  the  estate  of  it.  This,  the  Hii{>erior  Court  held,  was  perhaps  a  wrongful
actj  but  was  not  an  cw^*  d^hirUUr.  In  tbe  Court  of  Appeals  it  was,  bmvaver,  held
in  the  same  case,  that  the  presumptive  heiress  having  collected  moneya  due  to
the  deceased  and  kept  in  her  hands  moDeys  left  hy  himj  could  not  legally
renounce  the  estate  and  that  such  renunciation  was  of  no  etfect, — Q.  B. —  Orr  S
