5.  If the will of the husband devise a part of both real and personal estate,
she shall renounce the whole, or be otherwise barred of her right to both real
and personal estate.

    6.  If the will devise only a part of the real estate, or only a part of the personal
property, the devise shall bar her of only the real, or personal estate, as the
case may require; provided nevertheless, that if the devise or either real or personal
estate, or of both, shall be expressly in lieu of her legal share of one or
both, she shall accordingly be barred, unless she renounce as aforesaid.

    7.  But if, in effect, nothing shall pass by such devise, she shall not be thereby
barred, whether she shall or shall not renounce as aforesaid, it being the intent of
this act, and consonant to justice, that a widow accepting, or abiding by a devise,
in lieu of her legal right, shall be considered as a purchaser with a fair
consideration.

    8.  If a widow commit waste in the lands of the deceased, she shall be liable
to an action by the heir or devise, or his or her guardian; and if she marry a
second husband, he shall be answerable for any waste committed by her before
marriage, or by himself.

    9.  A widow's remedy for dower shall be as heretofore.

    1.  IF any person entitled to administration shall deliver, or transmit to the orphans
court, a declaration, in writing, that he is willing to decline the

    2.  If an executor or administrator shall die before administration is completed,
letters de bonis non may be granted, at the discretion of the court, with a copy
of the will annexed, (if the case require,) giving preference, however, to the
person entitled, if he or she shall actually apply for the same; and the form of
the letters shall be as herein before directed, except that the words " already not
administered," be added in their proper place; and the authority conferred by
such letters shall be to administer all things herein described as assets, not converted
into money, and not distributed, or delivered or retained by the former
executor or administrator, under the court's direction.

    3.  A common warrant for land not executed or located in the life-time of the 
deceased, shall be assets after his death, in the hands of an executor or administrator,
and subject to distribution, as well as every debt due to, or just claim
of, the deceased; and if a common warrant for land be executed or located as
aforesaid, it shall be considered as the property of the heirs.

    4.  No personal action shall abate by the death of either party, but executors
and administrators shall notice and conform to the directions of the act of 1785,
ch. 80, respecting their prosecution or defence of such action.

    5.  If any thing be bequeathed to an executor, by way of compensation, no
allowance of commission shall be made, unless the said corporation shall appear
to the court to be insufficient, and if so, it shall be reckoned in the commission
to be allowed by the court.

    6.  No executor shall be obliged to exhibit any inventory, or account, provided
he will give bond, instead of the bond herein before directed, with such security,
and in such penalty, as the court shall approve, to the state of Maryland, to be
recorded and sued as before directed, with condition " for paying all just debts
" of, and claims against, the deceased, and all damages which shall be recovered
" against him as executor, and also all legacies bequeathed by the will," provided
