Opinion

majority opinion

The Chancellor,

after holding the case under advisement, considered that the ignorance of Mrs. Seal was no defence, it being the result of her negligence, which of itself was a breach of trust, and that she was chargeable with a loss which her diligence might have prevented. He, therefore, granted a decree charging her estate, as well as Joshua T. Seal’s, with the trust fund and its interest.
