the motion to the next term or give notice of such application in a pub-
lic newspaper, as prescribed in section 30 of the act. The latter section
did not apply to wills executed and proved in any of the states or ter-
ritories of the United States. lb. 379.
6. The neglect of a devisee for three years to cause a known will to be of
fered or admitted to probate, whereby the devise lapses under the thir-
ty-fourth section of the act of 1840, refers to the original probate, and

will. Ib. 379.
7. The provisions of section four of the act of March 20, 1849 (47 Ohio L.
32), did not apply to foreign wills on record in this state at the date of

8. A will executed and proved in a sister state, and afterward, under the
act of 1840, an authenticated copy thereof is duly admitted to record in
any county in this state where any part of the property devised is sit-
uated, is as valid to vest title in the devisee as a domestic will duly pro-
bated. Ib. 379.
9. A domestic will, under the act of 1840, when duly probated in any
county of this state, vested in the devisee the property therein devised,
although such property was situated in another county. Ib. 379.
10. A will, executed in conformity with the provisions of the act of 1824,
but made and proved in a sister state, might, after the repeal of that act,
be admitted to record in this state, under the act of 1840. Ib. 379.
11. When an authenticated copy of a foreign will is properly admitted to
record in this state, and afterward a copy of such record, under section
26 of the act of 1852, is filed and recorded in another county, the latter
record may be given in evidence in an action for the recovery of lands
devised by the will, commenced before the record was made. lb. 379.
12. When lands are devised for life to one person, with remainder over

13. A deed of conveyance by a tenant for life purporting to convey the
title in fee, passes the life estate, but does not forfeit it to the reversioner
or remainder-man. 1b. 379.

mentioned is to be paid to the widow, children, mother, sister, father,
or brother of a deceased member, and in the order named, if not other-
