Opinion
(May Term, 1796.)
An administration granted in another State will not authorize the administrator to sue in the courts of this State.
IT was said in this case, by Mr. Moore, and not denied by any of the bar, that it had been decided in this Court a few terms ago that letters of administration granted in another state could not entitle the administrator to maintain a suit here. Though he said this question was reserved, and yet depended in Salisbury, in Hillary Butts's Administrators v. Isaac Price, 1 N.C. 289.
I was concerned in the case at Salisbury to support the affirmative of the proposition, and have taken much pains to inform myself of the law, and I think it is as the Court decided here.
