Bradford, In the matter of the eatate of Patrick McLesly, decented.— Yesterday the Surrogate made the following decision u 0a n question bronght before him in regard to the will of Patrick McLeeky, deceased — Upon the final accounting of the executors in this case it becomes necessary to determine what direction shall be given in reupect to a legacy of fifteen thousand dollars Dequeatbed toa minor residing at Florence. It appears thai « guardian has been duly appointed at the place of domicil, and authority been regularly conferred upon the portant prerogative Qhrough the Coart of Chancery, though in this ay at au carly period, it was found converient to confide its ‘administration to tribunals having probate jurisdiction. A guardian may be appointed for the porson as for the estate of an infant, or for both. 1a the case of Johnstone against Beatiio, 10 Cl. & F., 42, the House of Lords determined that {t was competent for the Lore Chancellor to appoint a guardian for a minor, whose domicile was ia Soctlan: where there were testamentary guardians, and who was only temsorarily revident in Eugiand. The principle was then rottled that foreign guardians have no extra torrito- vial auihority by virtue of their office, and that the Court of Chancery, when acting i these maiters, always “re- quires tbat there sball be a guardian appointed within the jurisdiction of the court, responstble to the court, and sub t ¢o its jurisdiction and authority. Io Stephens against james, 1 My. and R., 627, an infant had baen taken by his father to America, and the court entertained jurisdiciion and ordered maintenance out of the infant's estate, though he was residing in a foreign country. I can dad no rea 800 for doubting that the situs of assets belonging to a minor bas always been considered « suifictent basis for a grant of gvardisuship. The rule im this countr? was cofinitely seitied many years since. In Newell against Dickey, 1 Joba. © K, 163, Chancellor Kent hela that lekers Hi foreign guardianship afforded mo title within (his State, and he placed the doctrine on hor serving prinsiples, which pre- ‘yeu's @ recoguition of foreign executors and ad- tmipiatrators. This analogy #ppea’s to be sound aud ros ®onabis, and the decision mever been questioned. Chancellor Wai worth decided that a foreign execator or administrator might be sued 1a equity, and exoressed tho opirion, alo, that aforeign guardian war ta like manner amenable to the same jurisdiction; but it is mantfost tuat @ caproliy o7 title to sue differs widely from a capacity to be sued. In Kratagalost Wickey, 4 Gili and Jobas, 8. B82, the question was expressly ccasidered, and it was concluded that guardians can sue only in tze courts of the country from which they claim thcir power, although court of equiiy the domestic gourdian po hes charge of the proyerty will be compelled to provide for the mainte mance and education of bis ward resident abroad The reason upon which a foreign guardian is dented any re Cognition of hia tile is substaatially this: That all his au- thority spring out of his official character, and a civil officer, aa such, can of necessity possess no power beyond the limits of the sovereignty by which he is appoiot ed. Such exceptions as may exist have been adm t- fed, pot de jure, but ex comitate, The lex fori primarily prevails in the form and order of the adm nistration ‘of justice, and foreign law is only received so far as is ts found consonant with sound principle and pub Lic conyenterce ; it is accepted on the basis of international comily, and not because of any inberent right The con tinenta! jurista go further, and insist upon @e absolute ‘ht aud title the guardian appointed at the piabe of domi- beresoover the ward is to be represented ; but both ta Fog!and and in the United States this doctr.ne does not revail. still, however, we recoguise,and give effect to ore laws of tbe comicll of a party which odhatitute the Slatus, quality or capectty of the person, and piace minors under toe authority of tutors or guardians, to such an ex- teut as in the discretion of the court may seem wise aud ‘opsr. 1 Burge.

In this view it might perbaps be compatent for a court of eqaity t> per- mi( ap admin! or executor to transmit t! nds of & minor domiciled in a foreign country to the guardian abroad, on satisfactory evidence being given that ade. quate security bas been afforded for the faithfal adminis tration of the property. This, however, would cles'ly be ‘a maticr cf discretion and not of strict right. In the ab seoce of special direction it might fall within the province of the Surrogate to exercise such a dh power, bat the statute nas ex pready provided the mode in which the rights this respect must be protected, and there ix 2ity to the minor, to be approved by Sarrogate, for the faithful application and accounting for such leracy,”’ and “f there be po such guardian, or the Surrogate do not direot euch payment, the legacy shall be invested ia per- manent securities, under the direction of the Surrogate, {m the name and for the benefit of euch minor, upon cur rept tpterest, and the interest may be applied, unJer the direction of ihe Surrogate, to the support and edacation of such minor.” (2 RB. 8.

THE REPORT OF A COMMITTEE ON YELLOW FEVER IN BROOKLYN AND N&W YORK IN 1856. An Interesting monthly meeting of the New York Aca" demy of Medicine was held on Wednesday night in tho chapel of the University o! New York. The meeting was largely attended. Dr. Valentine Mott, the President of the Academy, oocupied the chair. The first thing done after the orgariza‘ion was the read- ing Of @ printed report by Dr. Vandervoort, of the discus- sion ef the Philadelphia College of Physicians regarding the cause of the Washington hotel epidemic. The conclu- slcn arrived at was that the disease was caused by the respiration of foul air, which penotrated and permeated tho hotel from afoul and obstructed sewor. At the conclusion of the reading cf this paper, Dr. Gerscom, as chairman of the section on Pube Health and Legal Modiciner, then presented and read @ very lengthy and intereat'ng report emenating from that oom. mittee, on the subject of yellow fever. ‘The report states that by a reference to the report on the subject of yellow fever, as presented to the Academy of Medicine in Osto- Dor last, a reeord was given of the different attacks which bad been experienced up to the year 1822—the date of its Inst appearance in the oity, prior to 185¢—whish, owing to 1s recent occurrence at the perird of that report, it was deemed advisable to leave it for future consideration. The eport then proceeds to speak of the diffsrent theories ad. vanced by various medical writers in the diferent por- itons of the covutry, as $> th ‘obable cause of the ap- yearance of the yellow fever in ene several S ales and ites where it bas most frequently ocourred—and then proceeded to apeak of the diilerent times in which it has ‘visited New York, and says:—From the years 1791 io 1807, nelusive, this city experienced eleven attacks of yehow ever. itdid not appear again until 1819, and all of these ttacks bad their localities in the southeastern margin in the vicinity of the wharves of the Fast river. Besides these, in 1809, !t broke outin Brooklyn, destroying be- ‘tween thirty and forty lives. It was then conflued entirely to a well defined a:ea of about 200 yards semi diameter, the centre of which was a vessel from Havana, on board of which the firet case occurred. It didnot then extend to the New York aide of the river, After speaking of tne various theories, the particular localities of the yellow fever, ita tendency to spread and its contagious effects, the report proceeds to add:—It must be borne in min that the of the city in which the fever appoarod were inthe vicinity of the place whore vesrels lali from affected ports, and, furthermore, it ehould rot be forgotten that its frequent repetition, prior to 1808, cared simulta- Beously with the adoption of the new quarantine laws ani regula ions. The report next proceeded to consider more | fully the appearance of the yellow fever at this port in 1866, and its progress. The total namber of genuine yellow fever fatal caseaduring that summer ‘was £88, of whom more than one third ‘died of black vo- mit. In that year between the 2ist and 20th of July the wind was contipually southwest, while the temperature rapged unusvally high, and was ‘accompanied with a cor- responding degree of bumidity of the atmospbere. Dar ing the whole of that epidemic tae infected district con- tinued eimost entirely in @ direct line with the infected | yeegels near Gravesend bey to Fort Hamilton. The report here uc.udes a leer from Dr. E. Harris to giving the particulars atiencing the care of tue Lucy Hay Wood, ‘rom Gonatver, the first vessel detaiz od off Sezuine’s Point this summer, having on board the yellow fever. ‘Mr. Marshall had alluded. The resolution was Gnally laid on the tabie. AMERICAN MARINE HOSPITAL AT HAVANA PROPOSED. Mr. Manenatt called the attention of the Chamber to the abuses practiced at Havana upon American seamen. The captains were compe led to pay three dollars per head for borpital money; b:t the poor seamen who were sick and taken tothe Spenisn hoepital were almost sure to die. During the »sumaxr season from three to four hundred American seamen died of yellow fever at that port on an ‘The sailor who entered tbe boepital rarely left deed it was to the Dongen A advartage of the hospi’ ‘thorities if they did dic, as the shin owners had to pay the bills and fees for the burial, To corvect these abuses, and for the sake of the poor seamea, it was pro. ed to orgapize an American hospital at that port. Mr. jarsball then read the followiug from one of his corres- pondents at Mavaza Havawa, July 23, '857. roceed © HB.

Mr Perr thought this was a matter that government ould not very well take action upon, as It id be an in terference with pors laws. Still, it was @ matter upon which Copgrees might bo memorialized, and be thought the subject had better lay over. THE ADVANCED WAGES QUESTION. Mr. Pasir stated that the Commitee on the Abolition of Advarced Wages to Seamen would not be prepared to mo final report until next meetiog. In the meantime, bo wisbed to bave an incorrect public impression recti ti Tbe reform had nct been abandoned by the merchauts, and be was «atlefed that it would evcatually be fully carried out.

The committee next procee:ed to discuss the theories advanced by the Now Orieass commission of 1853, respecting the terrene and meteorolo- gical circumstances connec ed with the epidemics of that city, So far asthe city of New York is concerned the report clearly establ shed the fact that the disease, in every visitation for the past fifty years, nfust have been from imported sources, there not baving been an attack of it since 1822, nctwitbstanding the immense amount of up turning of Sol! from laying down 256 miles of water pipe, 150 miles of sewers, unnumbered miles of street paving, and ibe digging cf thourands of oc liars, cisterps and cess- pool, which, according to the Ni Orleans theory, pre- serted aboncant cause for it. ‘ort adds, it is true, that the soil of New Orleans it of « diiferent kind from toat of New York, but we claim the palm for filthy streets and for density of population, with all their concomitant evils.
