ART. 93,] TESTAMENTARY LAW. 629

53. No question respecting infamy, citizenship or competent
age, shall be determined by the Orphans' Court without summon-
ing the person so named in the will and alleged to be infamous,
alien or under age, provided he be within the State, or without
giving such notice by advertisement or otherwise as the court
shall direct, (in case he be out of the State,) and hearing in case

to be under the age of eighteen years, it shall be incumbent on
the person making the allegation to establish the same by such
proof as is usually required in such cases.
