It being satisfactory proven to the undersigned, Judge of

Mecklenburg County, that Ann McGahey, late of said County, is dead,
without having made and published any last Will and Testament, and it
appearing that J. M. Wilson is entitled to the administration of the

according to law:
Now these are therefore to Empower the said Administrator to
enter in and upon all and singular, the goods and chattels, rights and
credits of said deceased, and the same to take into possession,
wheresoever to be found, and all the just debts of the deceased to pay
and satisfy, and the residue of said estate to distribute according to
law.

Probate Judge
{Section symbol} 477. -- Every executor, administrator, collector and
guardian shall, within three months after his qualification or
appointment, make return on oath to the Judge of Probate, of all the
estate in his hands or received by him up to that time; but such time
may be extended by the Probate Judge, on good cause shown, not
exceeding six months.
{Section symbol} 478. -- Every executor, administrator, collector and
guardian shall, within twelve months from date of his qualification or
appointment, and annually so long as any of the estate remains in his
control, file in the office of the Judge of Probate, an inventory and
account, under oath, of the amount of property received by him, or
invested by him, and the manner and nature of such investment, and his
receipts and disbursements for the past year in the form of debit and
credit. He must produce vouchers, which must be filed with the

examine, on oath, such accounting party or any other person, concerning
