The Cyclopedic Law Dictionary

Chattels or goods of sufficient value to be accounted for. Where a decedent leaves goods of sufficient amount (bona notabilia) in different dioceses, administration is granted by the metropolitan, to prevent the confusion arising from the appointment of many different administrators. 2 Bl. Comm. 509; Ro Ue, Abr. 908; Williams, Ex'rs, Index. The value necessary to constitute property bona notabilia has varied at different periods, but was finally established at £5, in 1603.
