Legal Decisions.

PROBATE, DIVORCE AND DIVISION (ENGLAND). (Before Sir Henry Duke, President.) IN THE ESTATE OF ROBERT GAULT, Deceased. March 24, 1922.— Re-sealing probate issued by High Court of Justice of Northern Ireland — Government of Ireland Act, 1920, s.s. 38, 40— Colonial Probates Act, 1892. The testator died on November 28, 1921, in London but domiciled in Northern Ireland. He left considerable estate com prising both real and personal estate in Northern Ireland, and personal estate in England. Probate of his Will had been granted to his executors in the High Court of Justice, Northern Ireland, K.B.D- (Probate), constituted by the Government of Ireland Act, 1920. Duty on the whole estate, including the part in England, had been paid to the Ministry of Finance, Northern Ireland. The executors had applied to the Probate Registry in England to have the grant re-sealed according to the usual practice. The Registrar had raised the question whether, since the Government of Ireland Act, 1920, had abolished the old Irish Courts, the application ought not to have been made under the Colonial Probates Act, 1892, and refused to re-seal the probate without the direction of the judge. On behalf of the executors application was made for an order that the grant be re-sealed pursuant to the regulations hitherto in force. Sir Henry Duke, P., said it was impossible to apply the Colonial Probates Act to Ireland, for that Act only applied to possessions to which it had been directed by Order in Council that it should apply, and no such Order had been made with regard to Ireland. But in his opinion it was clear that the Government of Ireland Act, 1920, authorised and required the re-sealing in England of probates and letters of administration granted by the High Court of Justice in Northern Ireland, and accordingly he granted the application.
