64. When any person so named as an executor in a will
shall be alleged to be an alien, or not a citizen of the United
States, his citizenship shall not be established otherwise than
by a certificate under the seal of the office or court where the

55. Any inquisition of a jury on a writ issued from a court
of equity finding the party an idiot, lunatic or non compos
mentis, and confirmed by the court, shall be conclusive evidence
of the unsound mind of the party; and if such inquisition shall
not have been had at the time when administration ought to be
granted, a writ de lunatico inquirendo may issue by the circuit
court or orphans' court, on the petition to either of said courts
of any person interested; and the finding of the jury that the
party is an idiot, lunatic or madman, or non compos mentis,
thereon returned and confirmed by the court, shall be conclusive
against the party, and a certificate from the clerk of the court,
under seal, stating the substance of the proceedings, shall be
evidence in the orphans' court, who may thereon proceed as if
the party had not been named in the will.
