' It is fully settled that no commissions can. be allowed to an administrator on the payment dittribut 'n thares. And we think it equally clear that an Executor is not entitled to commissions on the payment of legacies, whether to the widow, or any other Legatee. SUDRYQUESTIONi: (by a SttbicriberJ 1.
