The Cranfield commission authorized the Lieutenant-Governor to constitute courts and appoint judges. Under this authority there is evidence that Cranfield established a court of probate, and that he, and after him, Barefoote, assumed the office of ordinary, with. Chamberlain, the province secretary, as register of the court.
An attempt was made in the winter of 1682-3 to construct a body of local statute law for the province, but there was a rupture be -. tween the Lieutenant-Governor and the assembly when the under- taking had proceeded to the 26th article. He was not able to- obtain the attendance of the assembly for legislation after this time, except on one occasion, at the special instance of the King for the enactment of one bill especially desired by the home government. (I N. H. Prov. Laws, 48, 807.) In the fragment of a body of statute law, the construction of which appears to have been begun in the first year of the Cranfield administration, there is no refer- ence to the probate law. The Lieutenant-Governor, after his. rupture with the assembly, avowed his purpose to govern the prov- ince by the laws of England. The history of his administration, however, shows that all his attempts to govern them failed, and. that his administration was broken down by the antagonism of the people, by his own incompetency, by his personal interest in the Masonian claim, by his alienation of the support of Randolph, and by the want of confidence towards him which developed in the

home government. His attempt to resort to the laws of England, and to impose them upon the province as embodying the rules by which they were to be governed, if practicable in any degree with a competent and discreet administrator, was out of the question with this executive. (Farmer's Belknap's Hist. of N. H., chap. 8. F. B. Sanborn, Hist. of N. H., chap. 4. Memoir and cor- respondence of Edmund Randolph, edited by Robert Noxon Toppan, passim.)
It was in the time, of this administration that the first charter of the Massachusetts Bay colony was vacated on scire facias in the court of chancery in England. It was formerly the opinion of the Massachusetts courts that the annulment of the charter wrought a repeal of the laws enacted under it. (Storer v. Freeman, 6 Mass., 438.) This opinion seems to have been adopted by Judge Bellows in the case of Clement v. Burns, 43 N. H., 619.
The current of later opinion is very strongly against this theory. (See article by Prof. E. N. Washburn on the effect of the vacation of the charter upon the laws enacted under it, 13 Mass. Hist. Soc. Proceed., 451 ; argument of the Attorney-General of New Hamp- . shire in the case of Percy Summer Club v. Astles before the U. S. Circuit Court for the District of New Hampshire, pp. 80, 95, 156; Commonwealth v. Alger, 7 Cush., 76; reporter's note, 9 Gray, 17 ; 66. N. H., 25.) There is, on the whole, little basis for the supposition that either in Massachusetts Bay or in New Hamp- shire the preference of the people for their own laws relating to the descent and distribution of property and the making and ad- ministration of wills had been removed or affected to any consid- erable extent by the abrogation of the charter, the validity of which was denied here and disputed in Parliament, and by what tran- spired in New Hampshire in the Cranfield regime, which had been almost farcical in the attempted exercise of governmental powers, and from every point of view obnoxious to the great majority of the people.
The next period in the constitutional history of the province is.

HISTORICAL NOTE
covered by the Dudley-Andros administrations under the commis- sion of King James II constituting the Dominion of New England. The powers of government conferred by the commissions and in- structions, first by the preliminary commission to Joseph Dudley and Council, and second in the more elaborate commissions and instructions to Sir Edmund Andros, resulted for the time being in a radical change in the structure of the colonial organizations in New England. This involved the discontinuance of separate province and colonial governments in Massachusetts, Plymouth, New Hampshire, and several other colonies. In the Judicial His- tory of Massachusetts Professor Washburn says, (p. 86) " The president [Dudley] took upon himself the probate jurisdiction as Supreme Ordinary, but to save the trouble of parties attending at Boston he appointed judges of probate and clerks in the remote counties to act in his stead." Continuing in the same volume, the author says, (p. 95) " He [Andros ] assumed to be the Supreme Or- dinary, and though it became extremely oppressive for all persons having any business of this kind to come to Boston, as by his orders they were compelled to do, and although the fees to be paid by the parties were greatly increased, yet it ought to be acknowledged that he did much to introduce a regular system of forms in the proceed- ings in probate courts, which before that had been loose and uncertain. He personally attended to the administration of estates exceeding fifty pounds, and the ordinary fee for the probate of a will was fifty shillings." Several orders relating to probate affairs were passed in the brief time of the administration of President Dudley and his Council, occupying only six months, between May and December, 1686. These are reproduced in I N. H. Prov. Laws, 92, 142, passim, particularly 105, 124, 125.
In the time of the Andros administration, which commenced Dec. 20, 1686, and was terminated by a popular uprising April 18, 1689, the subject of probate affairs was taken up in a formal act of date June 1, 1687, entitled “ An Act for probate of wills and granting letters of administration." The full text appears in I N. H. Prov. Laws, 206.

HISTORICAL NOTE
The people of Massachusetts have been very generally disposed to regard the Dudley-Andros administration of 1686-89 as a usur- pation. The Bay colony, immediately upon the downfall of the An- dros government, resumed the government which was in existence at the time of the inauguration of the Dudley administration in May, 1686. The laws by which they had formerly been governed were revived by an express act. This, of course, included the laws relating to wills and probates. (I N. H. Prov. Laws, 294. See Smith's reports, 503.) The deposition of Andros left New Hampshire without a colonial government. The people were un- able to unite upon a government for themselves. Government was relegated to the town organizations. This status continued during a period of about ten months. A union was effected between the towns and people of New Hampshire and those of Massachusetts Bay. This is commonly described as the second union. The exact status of probate jurisdiction in New Hampshire at this time is somewhat problematical. (I N. H. Prov. Laws, 259-399.)
The period of the second union extended from Feb., 1690, to the time when this relation was terminated by new commissions for a province government in New Hampshire and a new charter for Massachusetts. The probate jurisdiction had reverted in the time of this second union to the counties. Its exercise, according to the records now accessible, was in pursuance of the same rules, methods, and forms as had prevailed in the time of the first union. This statement, of course, applies to New Hampshire as well as to Massachusetts Bay. The promptitude and facility with which both colonies readapted themselves at this time to the laws which they had established, and which were in conformity to their own polity, are significant as to the deep root which the jurisprudence of the time of the first union had taken in the statute law and in legal usages. The first colonial period for both New Hampshire and Massachusetts Bay was concluded at this time by the interpo- sition of a new charter in the one, and under a new commission permanently re-establishing a province for the other. The enact- ment of colonial statute law was resumed, with results which had
YY
HISTORICAL NOTE
the effect on the whole rather to rehabilitate and confirm the ancient local statute law than to supersede it by important or extensive in- novations. (See Oliver's Puritan Comm., 78, 79, 80 ; Adams's Emancipation of Mass., 197 ; arg. of Att'y-Gen. cited supra, 26 and 46.) It might be expected that probate jurisdiction would be provided for by the erection of a court performing its functions without very much variability from 1692-1775. Allen's commis- sion and instructions, as Usher claimed, invested the Governor or his Lieutenant with power to erect courts and make appointments for them. (I N. H. Prov. Laws, 505.)
It appears as early as 1693, by the act entitled " An act for the settling and distribution of intestates' estates and such as prove in- solvent," that the court of probate was already established. (I N. H. Prov. Laws, 566.) This fact is again recognized in 1701, in the act entitled " An additional act passed for the settlement of intestates' estates, thereto added insolvents' estates, how to be dis- posed of," Id. 683. In the Laws, ed. of 1716, p. 4, " Act for the settlement and distribution of the estates of intestates," the judge of probate is again referred to as then in the exercise of an appar -. ently settled jurisdiction. In the Laws, ed. of 1771, p. 104, the same act reappears. During this period, that is from 1692-1775, the Governor and Council constituted a supreme court of probate. (3 N. H. Prov. Papers, 683, 717.)
Referring to Usher's letter Jan. 11, 1696-7 (2 N. H. Prov. Papers, 209), it would appear that Story had an appointment from the home government as judge of probate ; that Usher desired to have the commission returned, and that he assumed the right to · appoint. This would indicate that the Governor was claiming the right to appoint the judge of probate, and that possibly there was an issue of authority on this point between the Lieutenant-Gov- ernor and the home government. On p. 207, same volume, it ap- pears that Packer was removed from the office of lieutenant-colonel and judge of probate by John Hinckes, President of the Council, acting as Governor, and the Council. It appears further, same vol- ume, pp. 242-243, that Nathaniel Fryer had been appointed ordi -

nary, inasmuch as Hinckes and his Council were turning the pro- bate records over to him by an executive order. In the absence of anything but fragmentary minutes of the proceedings of the Governor and Council as an executive body it may be difficult to trace, especially in the official probate records and files, the per- sonnel of this court, but there is probably data among the records and files of the probate court by which the judges and registers from 1692 to the revolution may be identified with substantial accuracy.
