. The Surrogate.—The statute provides that the Surrogate of each county shall have exclusive jurisdiction within his county, to take proof of the last wills and testaments of all deceased persons, where the testator at, or immediately previous to, his death, was an inhabi*83tant of the county of such Surrogate, in whatever place such death may have happened. (3 R. S., 76, § 24, subdivision 1 [6 ed.].) This is the only subdivision relating to the question of jurisdiction applicable to this case, for the reason that decedent died in this state, and not in this county.
