absentiâ, or pendente lite, together with the
name of the infant, the name of the person absent,
or during what particular contest such letters
are obtained; and, except their being incapable
of selling any of the deceased's goods,
unless it be in cases of necessity, for payment of
debts, or that it is apprehended such goods will
perish, such temporary administrators are vested
with the same power, and exercise the same
authority, with the above limitation, as a general
administrator would or could do, and continue
to hold the same, until the minor arrive
at age, the absent return, or the contention between
the several pretenders to such administration
be legally determined; his power then
ceases, and the original executor or administrator
assumes the administration on the remaining
part of the estate; who is empowered to call
the former temporary administrator to an account,
and in case of male-administration, may
either cite him to appear before the commissary-general,
or may put his bond in suit. Vide appendix
for bond and letters, No. 7.
