LETTERS ad COLLINGEDUM.
59
altho' executors and administrators enter into
bond with two securities before the commissary,
when they take letters, yet when those securities
incline to retract, the commissary cannot
compel fresh securities, nor release them of the
bond; they can only be relived by applying to
the county court, who are by law directed and
authorised to compel such administrator to enter
counter securities; and when they cannot procure
any, an attachment goeth against them for
the delivery of the goods of the deceased in the
hands of such complaining sureties; which sureties
must thereupon enter into bond themselves
before that court, with two sufficient sureties,
with condition to be void, on the said sureties
delivering or paying such goods and chattels as
shall come to their possession, by virtue of such
order, or the value of them, as the laws of this
province do require, to such persons as have
right to demand the same. Act of assembly
