Where corporate stock stands in the name of A., agent, and B. in trust,
both of whom are non-residents, and there is no proof as to who A.'s prin-
cipal and B.'s cestui que trustent are, it is impossible to say to the school
commissioners of what county or the City of Baltimore the money should
be paid. This section relates to cases of intestacy only. It becomes oper-
ative only upon the assumption that the stock in question was the indi-
vidual property of the deceased. Neither state nor city held entitled to
corporate stock under this section; appeal dismissed. Liquidation of
George's Creek Co.. 125 Md. 602.
143.
Where an estate has been distributed after a compliance with this sec-
tion, the decedent's wife and daughter who live in Ireland and did not
know of the death of the intestate nor participate in the distribution of
his estate, may not recover from the administrator nor from those who
receive the estate as legatees oi distributees. The orphans' court may
determine who are the distributees or next of kin entitled to the estate:
jurisdiction of equity denied. Redwood v. Howison. 129 Md. 593.
Administrators or executors are not required to ascertain the creditors,
if any, of distributees, or to notify them of an intention to distribute the
estate; the administrator or executor assumes no risk, so far as creditors
are concerned, in paying distributees before the passing of an account.
Effect of postdated check. Am. Agri. Chem. Co. v. Scrimger, 130 Md. 392.
To the first note to this section on page 2079 of volume 2 of the Anno-
tated Code, add Am. Agri. Chem. Co. v. Scrimger. 130 Md. 392.
