Whenever any claim is presented to an executor or administrator, or to the judge of the district court, and he is willing to allow the same in part, he must state in his endorsement the amount he is willing to allow. If the creditor refuse to accept the amount allowed in satisfaction of his claim, he shall recover no costs in an action therefor, brought against the executor or administrator, unless he recovers a greater amount than that offered to be allowed. R.L.1910, § 6349.
