ESTATE OF J. B. BAUBICHON.
No. 8113
Nov., 1873.
Distribution.—Succession.—Foreign law.—Unless the foreign law is made part of a contract affecting succession, it will be disregarded and the law of this State alone looked to in settling questions of inheritance.

P. J. Robert and H. 0. Newhall, for claimants under ante-nuptial contract.

The laws of this State furnish the rule in regard to inheritance and distribution, and the Courts here will not resort to the laws of a foreign country, unless those laws are expressed in and made a part of the marriage contract.
