AN ACT concerning the last will and testament of George
Sufern, late of the city of New-York, deceased.

WHEREAS, Edward Suffern, of the county of Rockland, in
the State of New-York, one of the devisees named in the
will of George Suffern, late of the city of New-York, hath
presented his petition to the Legislature of this State, and
hath therein set forth that his late uncle, George Suffern,
above mentioned, on or about the month of March, in the
year one thousand eight hundred and thirteen, departed this
life in the city of New-York, having first duly made and
published his last will and testament in writing, and thereby
devised certain real estate, in the State of New-York, to the
said Edward Suffern, the petitioner above named that the
said will was proved before the Surrogate of the city and
county of New-York, in the year eighteen hundred and thir-
teen, as a will of personal estate only, he (the said surrogate)
having no authority to take proof of said will, as a will of
Real Estate, which could, by the law of the State of New-
York, be done only before the Supreme Court of said State, Preamble.
and was omitted to be done, through the neglect of those
having charge of the said will: that the said will has been

gent search could not be found, until recently, the said peti-
tioner discovered that the said will had been sent into the
State of New-Jersey, by the executors, for the purpose of
being proved here, to enable them to collect certain debts
due the estate in this State; and agreeably to the laws of
New-Jersey, and in due time after proof in the county of
Bergen, the said will was transmitted to the Register of the
Prerogative Court at Trenton, where it now is; that the
debts above mentioned have been long since settled and
closed, and that the deceased owned no real estate in this
Siate; that the possession of the said will has become of the
utmost importance to him (the said Edward Suffern) to
enable him to make out a chain of title to certain real estate
in the State of New-York, devised to him in and by the
same, and also to enable him to give it in evidence, in cer-
tain ejectment suits, to be brought for the recovery of lands
devised to him, in and by the said will, in the counties of
Broome and Chemung, in the State of New-York; and that
without the said will, he cannot succeed in establishing his
