Opinion of the Court
delivered the opinion of the Court, Rhodes, C. J., Crockett, J., and Sprague, J., concurring:
The Probate Court of the City and County of San Francisco (having obtained the possession of an authenticated
We are of opinion that the Probate Court erred in dismissing the application on the ground stated. We think that notice of an application to admit to probate an alleged will under Section 13, or a copy of such will, with an authenticated probate thereof under Section 28 of the Probate Law of this State, is not “a summons, notice, or advertisement * * * required to be published as against a non-resident or against a party who may be or is supposed to be absent from, or concealed in the State, whose residence is unknown,” within the intent of Section 3 of “An Act authorizing the publication of certain legal notices in a State Paper, ” etc. (approved March 29, 1870), and that publication of such notice is, therefore, not required by law to be made in the “State Paper.”
It results that the notice, as published, was sufficient to enable the Court to proceed to hear the application before it.
The order is, therefore, reversed, and the cause remanded.
Temple, J., being disqualified, did not participate in the decision of this cause.
