will be insufficient to discharge .the just debts of and claims
against the deceased, discharge all just claims known to him or
pay each claimant his just proportion of the money then in his
hands (retaining as herein directed;) it shall likewise be his
duty once in every term of six months after the first distribu-
tion, to make a distribution of the money which hath since
come to his hands, until he shall have fully administered, and on
failure, his administration bond may be put in suit.

103. In all cases where an administrator is to make payment
of distribution amongst the creditors of his decedent, he may
give notice three successive weeks previously in some con-
venient newspaper, of the time and place for making it, and in
case the creditor shall not attend in person or by agent or
attorney to receive the amount or proportionable part of his
claim, all interest on such claim, or proportionable part, shall
cease from that time; Provided, that the administrator shall at
any time thereafter, on demand, pay the said claim or propor-
tionable part to the party, his agent or attorney duly authorized;
and whenever the administrator shall proceed to make an ad-
ditional payment or dividend, he may advertise as aforesaid,
and interest shall stop as aforesaid; and if, at any additional
dividend, a just claim, established as hereinbefore directed, shall
be exhibited, the creditor shall be entitled to such sum as will
place him on an equal footing with those who have already re-
ceived a dividend.

104. It shall be the duty of an administrator to pay -all just
claims against his decedent, exhibited to him, or a just pro-
portionable part thereof, according to the assets; and if any
claim be known to him (although the same be not exhibited)
he shall retain the same, or a just proportionable part for the
benefit of the creditor, provided he can satisfy the court, that
such claim is just, or may probably be recovered; and when it
is certain that there is a claim of a person out of the State, but
the amount thereof cannot be ascertained, the court may allow
such sum as it may think proper to be retained, to be accounted
for, nevertheless, if within three years after the death of the
deceased -no demand shall be made by the creditor or his re-
presentatives, and suit brought on the rejection thereof by the
administrator, and from the time of making payment to, or
dividend amongst the creditors as herein directed, all interest on
such claim or proportionable part thereof shall cease; Provided,
that the administrator shall pay or tender the same, together
