Conwill v. Livingston , 2 Miss. Dec. 549 ( 1881 )

Opinion.

Per curiam:

Citation on the final account of the appellants’ testator, administrator of one Livingston, ivas served personally on the distributees alone, who were infants. There was no appointment of a guardian ad litem for them.

The service on the infants was unauthorized by law and amounted to nothing. It was essential that a guardian ad litem should be appointed, and the decree is, therefore, void. See Burrus v. Burrus, 56 Miss. 92.

Decree affirmed.
