The opinion

Me. Justice Mitchell:

I am unable to concur in that part of this judgment which holds that the real estate in other states was subject to collateral inheritance tax. I cannot see that a technical conversion gave this state any jurisdiction for taxing purposes, under a statute not taxing the legatee personally but the property passing from the testator.
