It's only Administration, not a will, and so unlikely that there is much more to it than in the Calendar entry.

If you want a copy then you will need to contact the Probate Registry and purchase the paperwork - likely to be just one page.
Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.
Remember - "They'll be found when they want to be found" !!!
If you don't ask the question, you won't get an answer.
