The court dismissed the plaintiffs' originating summons and refused to remove the administratrix because the defendant acted in accordance with the majority wishes of beneficiaries, there was no evidence of improper conduct endangering the estate, the plaintiffs substantially obstructed preparation of full inventory and accounts by withholding chattels and account information, the estate was simple and removal would cause delay, and ownership of joint accounts requires proof of common intention not merely a survivorship clause.
