other papers for file and record, and that the necessa-

ry probates and proceedings had not been spread at

large upon or annexed to some of the said papers or

instruments of writing, and it became necessary in

many instances that the probates to the same should be

written out and certified, with a view to the proper set-

regularity of the proceedings of the court and regis-

the register of wills for said county was authorised

and directed to complete and record all such papers and

other instruments of writing left incomplete and un-
