I am not familiar with the English or Australian law, but I would have thought that if there was a dispute, and the probate was in England it would have been up to the English courts to sort it out, so I am leaning towards that Martha Taylor may have been in Australia when she died, there are 2 Martha Taylor's on the NSW Archive site who died intestate

Martha Taylor DOD 23 8 1884 Granville
Martha J Taylor DOD 16 7 1892 Petersham

Hi Margp,  Sorry, but these are NOT actually on the Intestate Index,  they are on the Deceased Estates Index (ie a valid WILL was proven), and the lady at GRANVILLE with DD 23 August 1884, her estate was probated  6 April 1889.  The lady at Petersham, well her estate was probated 6 Dec1892. 
Granville and Petersham are both suburbs of Sydney.   
http://srwww.records.nsw.gov.au/indexes/searchform.aspx?id=15  (Edit to make this link LIVE !)

As far as I can determine, there is NO Martha TAYLOR listed on the Intestacy Index at the NSW SRO 
http://srwww.records.nsw.gov.au/indexes/searchform.aspx?id=53

There is another Martha TAYLOR listed at the Archives Investigator http://investigator.records.nsw.gov.au  (Use simple search) and that was a Martha Taylor, DD 24 August 1884, and Probate granted 1 April 1889

NSW BDM online http://www.bdm.nsw.gov.au/familyHistory/searchHistoricalRecords.htm

Martha TAYLOR, died Granville, father’s surname ROWE, #7851 of 1884

Best option if considering ordering the dcs would be to consider the cheaper alternative (and it comes as email attachment) :

She left it a long time in making a claim.

£1  ... not even a guinea 

John CHILDS died Intestate, at Cowan Dawns Station on May 22, 1885,  and the cutting has the value as £1

BUT I still cannot figure out how anyone named Martha TAYLOR has anything to do with that John CHILD.  Sorry, but the dots don't join up for me.

Hi

Could Martha Taylor be related to John Child's wife Mary Butler ( ie Grandmother or mother who has remarried)   ?

The Queensland State Archives
http://www.archivessearch.qld.gov.au/Search/BasicSearch.aspx 
 “Audit insolvency file”
ID1054148  has CHILD, John insolvency ran from 4 Aug 1876 to 18 July 1879.  So it is likely that he had cleared his sequestration by July 1879 (ie well and trully within the seven years) and was NOT insolvent at the time of his death (mind you I am not sure if this chap was the one who died in England in 1880 or the one who died in Queensland in 1885 OR a completely different John CHILD). 

Cheers,  JM

This notice placed 6 Oct 1913
http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/60387114?searchTerm="john child"&searchLimits

This notice was placed in 8 Oct 1914
http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/61818217?searchTerm="john child"&searchLimits

So someone might have objected to the application of the probate in 1913.
If so a court case would be held.
Not sure if the 1914 notice is for the same John CHILD

Well found Leonie, and I agree, the 1914 notice could well be for a completely different John CHILD ... the notice does NOT mention that chap as being deceased.   In fact, the way I read it, that chap was still alive, a Gentleman Insolvent.
