DECISION IN A WILL CASE. The follow
ing decision ina Waldo county will case
has been received from the Law Court
Waldo F. ". Brown, Jr. ,, VS.. Charles f.
Smith, Rescript, Powers, }.
1t lisa well known principle OF the common
law that the power and authority OF an az.
mlniStratOr or executor over the estate OF
the deceased, is confined to the sovereignty
by virtue of whose laws he is appointed.
When assets of d foreign decedent are
found in this state, ancillory administration
must be obtained here before our courts
will enforce the recovery of debts due the
foreign decedent.
An administrator, appointed in another
State, cannot assign a mortgage OF land
situated in this State so as to enable the
assignee to enforce payment thereof.
Judgment for defendant.
One of the settees provided by the In
provement Society for the benefit of the
public, and which was placed on Northport
avenue just beyond the Girls Home, has
been partially destroyed and thrown out
into field. This is a very poor return for
the commendable efforts Of the Improve
ment Society to provide resting places for
the weary. Last Saturday we saw on North
port avenue nearly two miles from the city
one of the barrels provided by the society
as receptaces for rubbish These barrels
were bought by the society, painted and
labeled, and have been of great service in
aiding to keep the streets clean, and no one
had any right to remove them or to divert
them from the purpose for which they were
intended Another word in this connection.
1t has come to our knowledge that the In
provement Society has been held responsible
for the order from the city authorities con-
on the sidewalks. The improvement Society
had nothing whatever to do with this order,
neither suggesting nor requesting it.
