Syllabus

<p>The bare appointment of an executor or administrator of a deceased person by the courts of one State cannot be held, on principle or authority, to foreclose inquiry as to the domicil of the deceased in the courts of •. another State.</p> <p>The general rule is that administration may be granted in any State or Territory where unadminist.ered personal property of a deceased person is found, or real property subject to the claim of any creditor of the deceased.</p> <p>The constitutional provision that full faith and credit shall be given in each State to the judicial proceedings in other States, does not preclude inquiry into the jurisdiction of the court, in which the judgment is rendered, over the subject-matter or the parties affected by it, or into the facts necessary to give such jurisdiction.</p>
