Special Administrator of-the goods chattels and credits" of the intestate, ■ a 'contest -having takén'place-as to the'right'of administration, and a delay being then apparently inevitable in the issuing of general letters of administration. ■ Prom the order appointing a Colléctor, the Public Administrator in -the city of Hew York appealed, and tendered -an instrument purporting to be a bond of appeal, for the approval of the Surrogate. The Surrogate refused to approve or file the bond, because it was made “ To the People of the State of Hew York,” ■ (3 i?. 5th ed., p. 906, § 26), and returned it to the Administrator.
   A second instrument was then tendered as a bond on appeal, which was made to Hugh Perrigan, who was only one of the parties interested in maintaining the order of the Surrogate; and the Surrogate refused to approve or file this also, and returned it. (5 Abbott's Digest, pp. 141-2, § 66.)

The Public Administrator thereupon abandoned the appeal.
