Court, as he ought to have done, a stranger sues for Letters of Administration in the Prerogative Court, Luskins desires to prove the will there, and that he may administer, the Court refuseth to admit him to ad∣minister the goods, except he will put in security to the Court to pay all the Legacies; but if he shall refuse, will grant Letters of administration to the stranger.* 1.2 Luskins moves in this Court for a writ of a Mandamus, to compell the Prerogative Court to grant him the administration, according to the will. The Court ruled the other party to shew cause the next day why they should not grant such a writ; and were of clear opinion they might do it, and to prove it, the Countesse of Barkshires case, Hill. 20 Iac. and the case of St. Burien in Cornwall was cited, and the same Term the writ was granted accordingly.
