By the act of 1839, chap. 41, when non-resident owners of any public or state of Maryland stocks, or stocks of the city of Baltimore, or any other corporation in this state, die, their executors or administrators constituted under the authority of the state, district, territory, or country where the deceased resided at his death, have the same power as to such stocks as if they were appointed by authority of the state of Maryland. But before they can transfer the stocks they must, during three months, give notice in two newspapers, published in Baltimore, of the death of the testator or intestate, and of the "amount and description of the stock designed to be transferred." Adminis tration must be granted in this state, in order to recover a debt due here to a decedent, or any of his property, with the exceptions above noticed. 13. Massachusetts. When any person shall die intestate in any other state or country, leaving estate to be administered within this state, administration thereof shall be granted by the judge of probate of any county in which there is any estate to be administered; and the administration which shall be first lawfully granted shall extend to all the estate of the deceased within the state, and shall exclude the jurisdiction of the probate court in every other county. Rev. Stat. c. 64. 5. See 3 Mass. 514; 5 id. 67; 11 id. 256, 314; 1 Pick. Mass. 81. Michigan. Letters testamentary or letters of administration granted out of the state are not of any validity in it. In order to collect the debts or to obtain the property of a deceased person who was not a resident of the state, it is requisite to take out letters testamentary or letters of administration from a probate court of this state, within whose jurisdiction the property lies, which letters operate over all the state, and then sue in the name of the executor or administrator so appointed. Rev. Stat. 280. When the deceased leaves a will executed according to the laws of this state, and the same is admitted to proof and record where he dies, a certified transcript of the will and probate thereof may be proved and recorded in any county in this state where the deceased has property real or personal, and letters testamentary may issue thereon. Rev. Stat. 272, 273. 14. Mississippi. Executors or administrators in another state or territory cannot, as such, sue nor be sued in this state. In order to recover a debt due to a deceased person or his property, there must be taken out in the state letters of administration, or letters with the will annexed, as the case may be. These may be taken out from the probate court of the county where the property is situated, by a foreign as well as a local creditor, or any person interested in the estate of the deceased, 1 Miss. 211. if properly qualified in other respects.

Letters testamentary or of administration granted in another state have no validity in this; to maintain a suit, the executors or administrators must be appointed under the laws of this state. Rev.

Executors having letters testamentary, and administrators letters of administration, granted in another state, cannot sue thereon in New Jersey, but must obtain such letters in that state as the law prescribes. By the act of March 6, 1828, Harr. Comp. 195, when a will has been admitted to probate in any state or territory of the United States, or foreign nation, the surrogate of any county of this state is authorized, on application of the executor or any person interested, on filing a duly exemplified copy of the will, to appoint a time not less than thirty days and not more than six months distant, of which notice is to be given as he shall direct, and if, at such time, no sufficient reason be shown to the contrary, to admit such will to probate, and grant letters testamentary or of administration cum testamento annexo, which shall have the same effect as though the original will had been produced and proved under form. If the person to whom such letters testamentary or of administration be granted is not a resident of this state, he is required to give security for the faithful administration of the estate. By the statute passed February 28, 1833, Elmer, Dig. 602, no instrument of writing can be admitted to probate under the preceding act unless it be signed and published by the testator as his will. See Saxt. Ch. N. J. 332. that "when a testator or testatrix shall appoint any person, residing out of this state, executor or executrix of his or her last will and testament, it shall be the duty of the court of pleas and quarter sessions, before which the said will shall be offered for probate, to cause the executor or executrix named therein to enter into bond with good and sufficient security for his or her faithful administration of the estate of the said testator or testatrix, and for the distribution thereof in the manner prescribed by law; the penalty of said bond shall be double the supposed amount of the personal estate of the said testator or testatrix; and until the said executor or executrix shall enter into such bond, he or she shall have no power nor authority to intermeddle with the estate of the said testator or testatrix, and the court of the county, in which the testator or testatrix had his or her last usual place of residence, shall proceed to grant letters of administration with the will annexed, which shall continue in force until the said executor or executrix shall enter into bond as aforesaid. Provided, nevertheless, and it is hereby declared, that the said executor or executrix shall enter into bond, as by this act directed, within the space of one year after the death of the said testator or testatrix, and not afterwards." 17.

Letters testamentary, or of administration, shall not be granted to a non-resident; and when an executor or administrator shall become non-resident, the probate court having jurisdiction of the estate of the testator or intestate of such executor or administrator shall revoke his letters. Oreg. Stat. 1855, 352. 18. Pennsylvania. Letters testamentary or of administration, or otherwise purporting to authorize any person to intermeddle with the estate of a decedent, granted out of the commonwealth, do not in general confer on any such person any of the powers and authorities possessed by an executor or administrator under letters granted within the But by the state. Act of March 15, 1832, s. 6. act of April 14, 1835, s. 3, this rule is declared not to apply to any public debt or loan of this commonwealth; but such public debt or loan shall pass and be transferable, and the dividends thereon accrued and to accrue be receivable, in like manner and in all respects and under the same and no other regulations, powers, and authorities as were used and practised before the passage of the above-mentioned act. And the act of June 16, 1836, s. 3, declares that the above act of March 15, 1832, s. 6, shall not apply to shares of stock in any bank or other incorporated company within this commonwealth, but such shares of stock shall pass and be transferable, and the dividends thereon accrued and to accrue be receivable, in like manner in all respects, and under the same regulations, powers, and authorities, as were used and practised with the loans or public debts of the United States, and were used and practised with the loans or public debt of this commonwealth, before the passage of the said act of March 15, 1832, s. 6, unless the bylaws, rules, and regulations of any such bank or corporation shall otherwise provide and declare. Executors and administrators who had been lawfully appointed in some other of the United States might, by virtue of their letters duly authenticated by the proper officer, have sued in this state. 4 Dall.

An expression used in the Roman law, Code, 11. 4. 5, and applied to the trial of wreck and salvage. Commentators disagree about the origin of the expression; but all agree that its general meaning is that these causes shall be heard summarily. The most probable solution is that it refers to the place where causes were heard. A sail was spread before the door and officers employed to keep strangers from the tribunal. When these causes were heard, this sail was raised, and suitors came directly to the court, and their causes were heard immediately. As applied to maritime courts, its meaning is that causes should be heard without delay. These causes require despatch, and a delay amounts practically to a denial of justice.
