Against KaIahan's Claim.
In the matter Of the estate of Michael
Belcher, in which Bartholomew Kalahan.
the brother-in-law (brother OF a deceased
wife), claimed the estate, Justice Hagner
in the Probate Court yesterday delivered an
opinion overruling his claim. The deceased
left no wife, children or next of kin within
the fifth degree Of consanguinity or affinity
or any more remote degree except and only
the petitioner, who bases his claim under the
act of 1I19. The justice decides that after
quoting the acts, including that Of l19s,
which provides that If there be no relatives
within the fifth degree. the surplus goes to
the state. decides that the petitioner does
not come within the act and refuses his
prayer.
There is pending in this case the answer
of Katharine Kalahan, the wife of Bartholo-
FfaAyR -h.. hot cha had
heard of him since September l, 1SS2, when
he deserted he-; that she knew that Belcher
did not like kalahan: that she was known
to Belcher when child in the old country,
and on her removal here visited the
BelcherS; was with his wife when she died,
and after her death was his housekeeper
friend and adviser, and makes a claim
against the estate for so per month since
September. 1852.
