By the will of this testatrix, a legacy was bequeathed to George H. Buckner, an infant. I am asked to direct that such legacy be paid to William C. West, who holds letters of guardianship issued by the probate court of Monroe county, in the state of Michigan. This application must be denied. The power of a guardian is derived from the court that appoints him, and the fact that one has received such appointment from a foreign jurisdiction does not entitle him to recognition in the courts of New York (Morrell v. Dickey, 1 Johns. Ch., 153 ; Williams v. Storrs, 6 Johns. Ch., 353 ; Ex parte Dawson, 3 Bradf., 130; McLoskey v. Reid, 4 Bradf., 334; Matter of Neally, 26 How. Pr., 402; Biolley’s Estate, 1 Tucker, 422; Matter of Hosford, 2 Redf., 168; Trimble v. Dzieduzyiki, 57 How. Pr., 208; Weller v. Suggett, 3 Redf., 249). Section 2838 of the Code of Civil Procedure provides for the issuance of ancillary letters, in case infants who reside in the United States, but without the State of New York, are entitled to property within the State. Such proceedings should be instituted as that section points out.
