Synopsis

The administrator of the estate of John Gooding appealed a circuit court decree in a dispute with the executors of Robert Oliver's estate, raising the same legal questions as a companion case involving another administrator against the same executors. The Supreme Court reversed the circuit court's decree and remanded the case for further proceedings consistent with its decision in the companion Williams case, with three Justices dissenting.
