XXIV.  And be it further Enacted, by the Authority aforesaid, by and with
the Advice and Consent aforesaid, That if the Residuary Legatees, of any Person
or Persons dying within this Province, and making a Will; or the next
of Kindred to any Person or Persons dying Intestate in this Province, and
who ought to have the Residue of such deceased Person's Estate, do dwell in
England, or other Part of his Majesty's Dominions, out of this Province, so
that the Executor or Administrator convert the Residue of all the Real and 
Personal Estate (after Debts and Legacies here paid) into Money, or other
Effects, for the best Advantage if the persons to whom due, and returns the
same to such Residuary Legatees or Kindred as aforesaid, that then the Commissary-General
shall allow to such Executor or Administrator, the usual Salary
allowed by merchants to their Factors, viz. Ten per Cent.

    XXV.  And whereas it sometimes happens, that Persons of great Dealing,
dying in this Province, have their Books very imperfect, so that it cannot be
exactly known what Debts are due upon such Books, unless the Executor or
Administrator take the pains to carry about such Books from one supposed
Debtor to another, to state the Accounts; which many Times proves a considerable
Toil to the Executor or Administrator, and requires a very great
Deal of trouble and Charge; and many Times there appear Discounts or
Defeazances, or Receipts, to bar such Book Debts; or the Debtors, where
the Accounts are old, are insolvent, or the like; and the Executors or Administrators,
for such their great Pains and Diligence, have hitherto had no
Allowance.  Therefore, lest it should be a Discouragement to Executors and
Administrators, that having no salary therefor, they should be negligent, or
too sparing of Pains to improve the Testators or others Estates; Be it Enacted, 
by the Authority, Advice and Consent aforesaid, That where the Executor
or Administrator can fairly make appear to the Commissary-General, that 
he hath had such considerable Toil as aforesaid, and no Benefit hath arisen to
him thereby, to recompence his said Toil; it may be lawful to and for the
said Commissary-General, to allow such Executor or Administrator something
in the whole for such Pains and desperate Debts, at the Discretion of such
Commissary-General, not exceeding Five per Cent on any one Man's Estate.

    XXVI.  But for such Part of the Deceased's Estate that shall remain (after
all Debts and Charges paid and disbursed, and Account passed before the Commissary-General)
to Residuary Legatees, or other Legatees, or next of Kindred,
and delivered to them in Specie, without traversing the Estate, and converting
it into Money or Tobacco for that Purpose, there shall be * no Salary 
allowed; any Usage, Custom, or former Act of Assembly to the contrary
notwithstanding.
    * Except when payable to the Use of Free-Schools by the Act of 1719, ch. 14:  In which
case the Administrator shall be allowed by the Act of 1729, ch. 24,§. 17, Ten per Cent, if such
Residue to be paid in Money, and 5 per Cent, if paid in Specie.

    XXXVII.  Thirteenth.  And further, in regard by the Judge's or Commissary-General
for Probate of Wills and granting Administrations; his Commission,
there is a Saving to all Persons their Right of Appeal, from the Sentence
of the said Judge, to the Chief Governor of this Province, for the
Time being; Be it Enacted, by the Authority aforesaid, by and with the Advice
and Consent aforesaid, That all and every person and persons appealing
from the Sentence of the said Judge, shall within * Fifteen Days at the furthest 
after each Sentence, enter his Appeal before the said Governor; and,
within Fifteen Days more, petition the Governor of this Province for the
Time being, to examine the Sentence of the said Judge, or appoint such other
