620 TESTAMENTARY LAW. [ART. 93.

11. The administrator of a deceased administrator who shall
die before an account of his administration hath been rendered,
shall render an account, showing the amount of the assets re-
ceived, and the payments made by his decedent, and the account
shall, if found by the court to be correct, be admitted to record
as other administration accounts.

12. The husband of an administratrix, who shall die before a
final account of her administration shall have been settled, shall
render such account, showing thereby the amount of money and
property received, and of payments and disbursements made by
such administratrix, or that may have been received or paid by
him, and not before accounted for with the court, and the account
so rendered shall, if found by the court to be correct, be admitted
to record as other administration accounts, in cases where the
administratrix rendered them in person; and in case of refusal
of the husband to render such account, the court may proceed
against him by attachment, and may commit him until he shall
render such account.

13. The Orphans' Court shall have power to make allowance
to any administrator or collector, for property of the decedent,

count for such increase, and may be allowed for such decrease
on the settlement of the final or other account.

county where the party died; and in case the party neither had
mansion or residence, nor died within this State, letters may be
granted in the county wherein lies, or is supposed to lie, a consi-
derable part of the party's personal estate.

15. Administration may be granted to two or more persons,
