proper parties are to have due notice.
Given this 17th day of June 1853.   T. A. Corlett

At an Eccl Court held in Douglas the 24 June 1853. Upon hearing this
petition in presence of the parties or their advocates and upon examining
Lace Radcliffe and William Lace Radcliffe the subscribing witnesses to
the last will and testament of Jane Quine deceased I am of opinion that
the due execution of the said will by the said testator has been proved
and John Quine is therefore sworn well and truly to administer the said
estate in terms of the said will according to law to pay all just debts
legacies and funeral expences of the testator so far forth as the goods will
extend and the law bind him.  And to return a full true and perfect
inventory of the goods and effects of the testator to the Archdeacons
Registry of this diocese with an accurate account of his acts and proceeding
in the premises when thereunto lawfully required.  And to
these ends he  has given pledges namely John Shipley and Thomas Clark who
have executed the usual bond in presence of the court.
