The question of the petitioner’s, marriage to Daniel Angevine was tried; the Surrogate held the marriage proven, and entered an order, October 2, 1865, : revoking the letters and removing the administrators, and granting'letters to the petitioner as widow.

From this order Levi Angevine and Kelson Duckworth . appealed, and the, appeal is still pending. (See p. 195, ante.)

The appeal, being from an order removing an administrator (12. 3d vol., 5th ed.,f . 907, § 27), does not affect , the order appealed from until .the same be reversed,' Ann . Angevine is the only administratrix known to the Surrogate, until a higher tribunal shall otherwise decide. (And see same vol., p. 167, § 74.)
