       Note.- — -To work a conversion of real estate there must be a positive direction to sell in the will, or an absolute necessity to sell to execute it, or such a blending of real and personal estate by the testator in his will as clearly to show that he intended to create a fund out of both his real and personal estate, and to bequeath the said fund as money.

   Per Curiam:

The will of Stephen T. Gordon did not of itself work a conversion of his real estate. There was no error in the conclusion of the master that conversion did not take place until a sale and payment of the purchase money. A bill for an account was the appropriate remedy, and the appellees were entitled to an account. The several findings of the master appear to be sustained by the evidence, and justify the decree.

Decree affirmed and appeal dismissed, at the costs of the appellant.
