not be transferred except by order of the court, and any transfer
without such order shall be void.
46. No part of the principal arising from such sale of any real
estate shall be applied to the maintenance of any infant, unless the
court shall consider it necessary and order the same to be done.
47. Where an infant is seized of a reversion dependent upon a
i life estate, the court may, with the assent of the tenant for life,
decree a sale thereof, and order the annual interest, or such part
thereof as may be deemed equitable, to be paid to the tenant for
life during his life.

48. Upon the death of such infant under age, intestate and
without issue, the proceeds of such sale shall descend or be dis-
tributed, as the property or estate would if it had not been sold.

49. In all cases the court shall tax as part of the costs in the
case a reasonable compensation and allowance to any commis-
sioner for taking the answer of any infant in said cases.

50. If any person shall secrete an infant against whom process
has issued, so as to prevent the service of such process, such per-
son shall be liable to attachment and punishment as for con-
tempt; or if any infant secretes himself or evades the service of
process, he may be proceeded against as if he were a non-resident
infant.

INJUNCTION.
51. If any person against whom an injunction to stay waste
has issued, shall at any time after the service thereof commit
any waste on the premises, or with his consent suffer any to be
committed in disobedience of such injunction, on proof of such
waste by affidavit or otherwise, the court may issue an attach-
ment for contempt against him and punish him by imprisonment
or fine, or both.

52. On complaint to the court of any disobedience of an injunc-
tion as aforesaid, the court shall ascertain the value of the damage
done by such waste by affidavit or other proofs, either before or
after the attachment or imprisonment mentioned in the preced-
ing section, and may order the offender to pay double the value
of the damages so ascertained, and may enforce a compliance
with such order by an attachment for contempt or by fieri facias.
