wills of said county to have been proved according to law, although such probat and certificate are
not in due form of law, and have not been endorsed on said will in words at length, or recorded in
words at length, or signed by the late register, shall be as good, valid, and of the same avail in law,

office, and not proved according to law, and the witnesses thereto are deceased, that probat
of the hand writing of the witnesses, and of the testator, or probat of the actual execution of said
