ART. 93.] TESTAMENTARY LAW. 665

213. Whenever personal property of any kind, or assets not

mentioned in any inventory already made, shall come to the

possession or knowledge of an administrator or collector, an

account or inventory of the same shall be returned, appraised

by two respectable disinterested sworn appraisers, appointed

by any justice of the peace or judge of an Orphans' Court within

two calendar months from the time of the discovery.

214. In case an inventory be returned by a collector duly
appointed, the administrator thereafter administering shall,
within three months after the date of the letters, either return
a new inventory in place of the collector's inventory, or an
acknowledgment in writing that he has received from the col-
lector the articles contained in the first inventory, or consent to
be answerable for the same as if the said inventory had been
made out after his administering upon the estate; but nothing
herein contained shall be construed to render an administrator
answerable for not making a return of the inventory aforesaid
wherein it shall appear to the court that he has been prevented
from making such return by the improper detention of the
goods of the deceased by the collector.

215. If an executor or administrator shall not, within three
months after the date of his letters, exhibit to the Orphans'
Court an inventory as aforesaid, a summons returnable within
not less than eight or more than thirty days, may, ex officio, or
on the application of a person interested, be issued against such
administrator, to show cause wherefore such inventory hath not
been exhibited; and if the summons be duly returned, "sum-
moned," or upon two citations returned "non est" by the sheriff
of the county wherein the party resided at the time of obtaining
his letters, or of the county wherein the letters were obtained,
in case the party doth not reside in the State, and if he doth not
appear at the return of the summons, or appearing, shall not
show cause satisfactory, the court may immediately enter on its
proceedings and record that the letters be revoked, and may
proceed to grant other letters in the same manner as if such
executor had not been named in the will, or as if such adminis-
trator was not in existence; and the power of such executor or
administrator shall thereupon cease, and he shall be bound to
deliver up on demand to the person obtaining such letters, all
the property of the decedent in his hands, or be liable to be
sued by such person on his administration bond, or the court
may pass an order for the purpose.
