An offence of an aggravated character, punish- able under the various statutes defining the offence. The stat. 9 G. IV. c. 31, s. 11, enacts "that if any person unlawfully and maliciously shall administer, or attempt to administer, to any person, or shall cause to be taken by any person, any poison or other destructive thing," etc., every such offender, etc. In a case which arose under this statute, it was de- cided that, to constitute the act of administering the poison, it was not absolutely necessary that there should have been a delivery to the party poisoned, but that if she took it from a place where it had been put for her by the defendant, and any part of it went into her stomach, it was an administering; 4 Carr. & P. 869; 1 Mood. Cr. Cas. 114; 88 Ga. 257; 88 Va. 865; 23 Ohio St. 146; 84 N. Y. 223. The statute 7 Will. IV. & 1 Vict. c. 85 enacts that "Whosoever, with intent to procure the miscarriage of any woman, shall unlawfully administer to her, or cause to be taken by her, any poison, or other noxious thing," shall be guilty of felony. Upon an indictment under this section, it was proved that the woman requested the prisoner to get her some- thing to procure miscarriage, and that a drug was both given by the prisoner and taken by the woman with that intent, but that the taking was not in the presence of the prisoner. It was held, nevertheless, that the prisoner had caused the drug to be taken within the meaning of the statute; 1 Dears. & B. 127, 164. It is not suficient that the defendant merely imagined that the thing administered would have the effect intended, but it must also appear that the drug administered was either a "poison" or a "noxious thing." ADMINISTRATION (Lat. adminis- trare, to assist in). Of Estates. The management of the es- tate of an intestate, or of a testator who has no executor. 2 Bla. Com. 494; 1 Wil- liams, Ex. 401. The term is applied broadly to denote the management of an estate by an executor, and also the management of estates of minors, lunatics, etc., in those cases where trustees have been appointed by authority of law to take charge of such estates in place of the legal owners. At common law, the real estate of an intestate goes to his heirs; the personal, to his administrator. The fundamental rule is that all just debts shall be paid before any further disposition of the property; Coke, 2d Inst. 898. Originally, the king had the sole power of disposing of an intestate's goods and chat- tels.. This power he early transferred to the bishops or ordinaries; and in England it is still exercised by their legal successors, the ecclesiastical courts, who appoint administrators and superintend the admin- istration of estates; 4 Burns, Eccl. Law, 291; 2 Fonbl. Eq. 818; 1 Williams, Ex. 402. No administration of an estate is necessary where the heirs are all of age and agree to a settlement, and there are no creditors; 50 Mo. App. 85. Ad colligendum. That which is granted for collecting and preserving goods about to perish (bona peritura). The only power over these goods is under the form pre- scribed by statute. Ancillary. That which is subordinate to the principal administration, for collecting the assets of foreigners. It is taken out in the country where the assets are locally situate; 1 Wimams, Ex. [363] 6th Am. ed. note (u) cases cited; 88 Pa. 131; 11 Mass. 256, 263; 44 III. 202; 32 Barb. 190; 57 Howard Pr. 208. It will not be granted in Minnesota on the petition of a now resident creditor, there being no domestic ones, in order to collect shares of a corporation; 45 Minn. 242. An administrator in one state can sue as such in another unless ancillary letters are taken out, but this may be done after the bill is filed, by amendment; 42 Fed. Rep. 618. One who is both ancillary and domiciliary administratrix of the same estate, cannot be called on in one jurisdiction to account for assets received in the other; 19 S. E. Rep. (S. C.) 616. Cæterorum. That which is granted as to the residue of an estate, which cannot be administered under the limited power already granted; 1 Wms. Ex. 7th Am. ed. #449; 2 Hagg. 62; 4 Hagg. Eccl. 382, 386; 4 M. & G. 398; 1 Curt. Eccl. 286. It differs from administration de bonis non in this, that in cæterorum the full power granted is exercised and exhausted, while in the other the power is, for some cause, not fully exercised. Cum testamento annexo. That which is granted where no executor is named in the will, or where the one named dies, or is in- competent or unwilling to act. Such an administrator must follow the statute rules of distribution, except when otherwise di- rected by the will; Willard, Ex.; 2 Bradf. 22; 4 Mass. 634; 6 How. 59, 60. The residu- ary legatee is appointed such administrator rather than the next of kin; 2 Phil. 54, 310; 1 Ventr. 217; 4 Leigh 153; 2 Add. 352;1 Williams, Ex. 6th Am. ed. (462) notes (h) (i). De bonis non. That which is granted when the first administrator dies before having fully administered. The per
