    Columbia,
    May, 1830.
    The ordinary possesses no jurisdiction to call the sureties to an administration ho^d to an account for the actings and doings of their principal: and where the ordinary made a decree against the sureties, in favor of a creditor of the estate, an a ppeal from his decision was dismissed on this ground; the decree itself being extrajudicial, and inoperative.

We concur with the presiding Judge in this case. The ordinary had no jurisdiction, as has been repeatedly rlc.cided. The sureties can know nothing of the transactions of - ® the administrator. If the estate were represented, it might appear, from vouchers to be found among the papers of the ad-m- i.sirator, that the debt was paid.
