The note against Elias Deatrick was not collected by reason of the same having been paid during the lifetime of the decedent as was satisfactorily proved to these administrators.

The note against Adam Alinger and Adam Gardner has not been collected but was claimed by Joseph P. Robinson, and upon satisfactory proof made to this accountant was delivered to him.
