fubfcribed by witneffes, and fairly wrote (as it should be) in one hand-writing, without interlineations or alterations, or as few as poffible, of which, and as a few may sometimes almoft unavoidably happen, it is well to make mention in the atteftation, before the witneffes fubfcribe their names thereto; as in No V. pages 275, 276. Concerning a will not properly executed, we have taken notice in page 160.

WHEN it is requifite for adminiftration to be grant→ ed with the will annexed, as treated on in pages 216, 217, 218; the deceafed's will fhould be fent up, and mention made of the day or time on which he died, and the value of his goods, chattels, and credits, with the names of any two clergymen in the neighbourhood; and here attention must be had to the kind of administration wanted; as whether it be during the minority of an infant or infants, or where a teftator hath died without naming any executor, or named incapable perfons, or if it be where all the executors named refufe to act. Either of which cafes defcribe; and if it be during the minority of an infant or infants, who were appointed executors; mention his or their chriftian, furnames, and ages: the chriftian, furname; relationship to the deceased, and defcription of the perfon applying. And in either of the other cafes, mention the chriftian and furname of the perfon who applics, and describe him as relation, devifee, &c. of the deceafed, [as may be the cafe. So hereby a proctor may be enabled to obtain the commiffion and adminiftration for his employer.

THUS having laid down the method of proceed ing to obtain adminiftration and probate of a will by commiffion, we may now obferve that, when inftructions are fent up for a proctor to obtain a commiffion by, care fhould be taken that the names, &c. fent up be fpelled right; for although falfe fpelling will not render the commiffion void, yet it will increase the expence thereof.
