The grant of letters of administration to the respondent was revoked because it was obtained on the basis of an untrue allegation that the deceased died intestate, while a Will existed. However, the court declined to appoint the named executor or any other person as administrator until the Will is formally propounded by petition for probate. The applicants' exclusion as beneficiaries and jurisdictional complaints were found premature or unsubstantiated at this stage.
