On 25 September, 1922, H. J. Marshall was appointed administrator of the estate of Frank Eyan, deceased, by the clerk of the Superior Court for Pender Oounty, upon representation duly made to him that the deceased was domiciled in said county at the time of his death.
This proceeding is brought by H. J. Marshall, who was appointed administrator of the estate of Frank Eyan by the clerk of the Superior Court for Pender County, to have the letters of administration, granted to E. T. Kemp by the clerk of the Superior Court for New Hanover County, vacated and set aside, or revoked, upon the ground that the deceased was never a resident of, or domiciled in, the county of New Hanover.
Upon competent evidence, the clerk found, among other things, that Frank Eyan, at the time of his death, was a resident of, and domiciled in, the county of Pender, State of North Carolina; that he had never been a resident of, or domiciled in, New Hanover Oounty. The petition to recall or to revoke the letters of administration theretofore issued by him to the respondent, E. T. Kemp, was thereupon allowed and judgment entered accordingly.

In tbis we find no error.
