EFFECT or WILL PROVED IN CHINA.

A novel question with regard to the will of
an American made and probated In China was decided
by Surrogate Calvin yesterday. Edward G. Tantor,
who formerly lived in NewYork. went 10 China and
died there In tho summer OF 1873. viii made by him
short time before hs death admitted 20 probate
in the Consulate Court Shanghai II not execu
ted in conformity with the laws of this state having ho
witnesses Application recently made 70 Surrogate
Calvin for letters tCstamenary in order that the chill
dren OF Mr. Tantor might properly take possession OF
effects in this city carry out the terms OF the Will
The question has presented some perplexing phases
The Surrogate reviews the statutes OF this State de-
claing that letters testamentary may be granted here
upon any will made foreign country and admitted
to probate according to the laws of that State also the
United States statutes Investing In the United States
Minister at China all judicial authority necessary tc
execute the treaty between the Government OF China
and this country in conformity with the United States
laws; IL these statutes or the common law not
sufficient the Minister is authorized to supply the de
feet In April 1864 Mr.. Burlinghame, the Minister to
Chna among other regulations provided that until inc
PRONUNCIATION Of other regulations the COnsu5 sh0uld
continue to their former jurisdiction III the pro
bate Of wills aud administered OF estates.
The Surrogate concludes therefore, that the Court OF
the United Consulate General at Shanghai had
au hOrlty jurisdiction to take the probate OF the
will OF citizen OF United States there residing.
therefore thinks that the production OF the
cmpned copies tue Will may be presumed TO have beer
executed according TO the laws OF China. And" h
adds as said Court appears by the terms OF SAID
statutes one general Jurisdiction "a respect
the matters by the treaties of the opinion
that full faith and credit should be given TO the
empied record under the seal OF said Consulate. anC
that under statutes letters estameatary therein
