666 TESTAMENTARY TAW. [ART. 93.

216.If there be more than one administrator named in the ,
letters, any one or more of them, on the neglect of the rest, may
return an inventory, and the administrator so neglecting shall
not thereafter interfere with the administration, or have any
power over the personal estate of the decedent; but the ad-
ministrator so returning shall thereafter have the whole ad-
ministration, unless within two months after the return the
delinquents shall assign to the court some reasonable excuse,
which it shall deem satisfactory.

217. Whenever the decedent shall leave a widow, or child, or
grandchild, his wearing apparel shall be exempt from appraise-
ment, and shall belong to the child or children of the decedent,
and if no child or children, to the grandchildren, and if there be
neither child nor grandchild, to the widow of the decedent, and
his administrator shall divide the same among them (if there be
more than one entitled) as he may think equitable and proper;
but wearing apparel shall not include watches or jewelry of any
description.

218. The provisions which at the death of any decedent shall
have been laid up for the consumption of his family, on his home
or mansion-house farm, shall not be sold or included in the inven-
tory of his estate, but shall remain for the use of the family of
such decedent.

219. With the exception of the articles enumerated in the last
two preceding sections, all the assets of the deceased shall be
included in such inventory.

220. The following shall be deemed and taken for assets in the
hands of an administrator, to wit: Leases for years, estates for
the life of another person or persons, except those granted to the
deceased and his heirs only; a common warrant for land not exe-
cuted or located in the lifetime of the deceased; and all goods,
wares, merchandise, utensils, furniture, negroes, cattle, stock,
provisions, tobacco and every kind of produce, the crop on the
land of the deceased by him or her begun, things annexed to the
freehold or building which may be removed without prejudice to
the building, ornaments, and every species of personal property,
(except those things which are denominated heir-looms and the
ornaments and jewels of a widow proper for her station, and the
clothing of the family.)
