ANCILLARY ADMINISTRATORS
Judge Lawrence Again Declares il
Favor of the DOmiciIiary Admins
TRAITOR

Judge Lawrence Again Declares in
Favor of the DOmiciIiary Admins
TRAITOR.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-In the settle
ment of the accounts of the Treasurer of
the United States in 1882 a question arose
in a case from a Southern State, and was
referred to the First Comptroller for de-
cision, whether a Treasury draft issued in
the name of citizen of a State in pay
ment Of his claim against the United
States, should after his decease at his
dOmicile be paid to the dOmiciliary ad-
ministrator duly appointed in such State,
or to an ancillary administrator appointed
in the District of Columbia, and claiming
the right to the payment.
Judge Lawrence, the First COmptroller.
held that the payment of the draft by the
treasurer could only be made to the
proper legal representative duly ap-
pointed at the dOmicile of the deceased.
The question was carried to the Supreme
Court of the district, and finally to the
Supreme Court of the United States. where
Justice Gray, speaking for the court. sus-
tanned the Judgment of the First Comp
troIIer by deciding that the United States
Treasurer could not be compelled to nav
to an administrator. appointed in the Dis
trlct of Columbia, Of an inhabitant of one
OF the States of the Union, the amount of
the draft payable to the intestate at the
Treasury out of an appropriation made bv
Congress. The matter now comes up for
the final action of the COMPTROLLER thereon.
who holds as follows: The general rule
OF national execution in the common law
is that when party having a claim
against the United States dies, payment
thereof viii be made only to the proper
dOmlclllary legal representatives of the
decedent. In accordance with this
principle and in pursuance of the opinion
OF the supreme Court in this case that the
proper officer Of the Treasury Department
is authorized to decide to whom pay
ment shall be made, it will be
made to the rightful legal repre-
sentative duly appointed in Ten
| nessee. The authorities sufficiently
show that an order of the Probate Court
assuming to appoint an ancilliary adj
mlnlstrator when there are no assets Of
the decedent within the jurisdiction is
VOID, and it is now established that a
treasury draft is not assets which give
jurisdiction to make such an appOint-
ment. In the practice in the Treasury
Department the authority of an ancillarv
| administrator will be deemed as extend
ing only to the assets withIng the iuris-
| dlction of the court by which
he was appointed, and treasury drafts
having no legal status within such uris-
diction, will be deemed as having a sta
tus at the domicile ofEthe decedent, and
SO will be paid to the proper legal repre-
sentative there appointed.
The question decided is one of great i'm
portance, and affects. a large number of
claims against the United States, since
it applies to every case where a citizen of
State, haVinga claim against the gov
ernment, payable at the Treasury dies,
including all cases Of persons claiming.

payees Of United States bonds.

general statement to the effect that
United States Deputy Marshals and

every State in the Union, and especially
in the South, were habitually employing
d1sreputable persons to act as informers
against innocent citizens. Per-
sons guilty of trivial offenses, he said,
were brought before Commissioners
that fees might be secured. These Off
cials were reported as sending in state

earned, or duties performed. In many
cases the money asked for amounted to $40
or $50.
