        "text": "Mi?.. Presiding Justice Lacey\ndelivered the opinion of the Court.\nThis is similar to the preceding case, withM. F. Kingman as petitioner, for the surrender of two certain promissory notes given by petitioner to Matthew Kingman, deceased, his father, in his lifetime, one for $500, dated August 16, 1880, and one in June, 1882, for $1,000, both of which, together with six per cent interest, were to be accounted for by petitioner in the settlement of said Matthew Kingman\u2019s estate.\nThe petition alleges that petitioner, many years prior to 1890, performed services for deceased in the State of Iowa at deceased\u2019s request; that no settlement for services was made till February 12, 1890, when deceased promised that the two papers or receipts were to be applied in payment of petitioner\u2019s claim, and deceased promised said papers should never come against him.\nOn appeal to the Circuit Court from the Probate Court, where the case was first tried, the Circuit Court entered an order that the said two notes or papers described in the petition be surrendered to petitioner, and that the administrator amend his inventory in the Probate Court, so as to exclude therefrom, said notes.\nThe case was tried, and it was almost an exact counterpart of the claim of Shelby A. Kingman against the estate, appealed to this court, of Ellen F. Clark et al. v. Eugene Gibbons, ext. pro tern, of the same estate, and decided by this court, reversing the order of the Circuit Court, and in which we filed an opinion, giving our reasons at large for reversing the order. (See preceding case.) The claim of the petitioner herein was sustained only by the evidence above of Shelby A. Kingman, administrator of deceased, and brother of petitioner, and is in all substantial particulars the same as that of M. F. Kingman, petitioner herein, in his case referred to in the opinion, only in this case the supposed promise of satisfaction of the notes by deceased, referred to the notes in question here.\nFor the same reasons given in the opinion in the case referred to, and which we adopt and apply to this case, we are of the opinion said claim of petitioner is not made out by the evidence.\nThere was no absolute promise of deceased to satisfy petitioner\u2019s notes. The matter was left undetermined for deceased to do as he thought right in his will, or otherwise, by petitioner in reference to the notes.\nThe order of the Circuit Court is therefore reversed and the cause remanded. -",
