ject of administering the assets wherever situated. This is on the general ground that the jurisdiction of a court of equity follows the person. The rule was applied to the administration in England of the entire assets of a testator domiciled in Scotland, but having a small portion of his personal estate situated in England.1 This subject is regulated in New York by statute. In substance it is a digest of the principles already stated.2 Under the statute, the duty of the court in granting ancillary administration is made imperative, when certain specified steps have been taken. The local court takes an account as nearly accurate as possible of debts due residents of this State, and the applicant for letters may, in the discretion of the surrogate, be required to give a bond which will effectually secure the payment of the debts. The surrogate may order them to be paid out of the assets, or a proper percentage on them, if the estate is insufficient to make payment in full. Any surplus must be remitted to the State or country where the principal letters were granted.3 It Under the head of title by contract would belong gifts, as well as contracts ordinarily so termed. One form of gift, donatio causa mortis, in some respects resembles a legacy. Still, it is radically distinguished from a legacy in the fact that it does not pass to an executor, and is made to take effect in the testator's lifetime. will on this account not be considered in this connection. The topic of "title by contract" is at once so vast and varied that, in carrying out the scope of this work, which is more properly an introduction to the law of contracts, it will not be expedient to consider it. It is enough to mention it here for the sake of completeness. 1 Ewing v. Orr Ewing, L. R. 9 App. Cas. 34, 45, 46. Scotland was treated as a foreign jurisdiction. 2 Code of Civ.
