84 CHANCERY. [ART. 16.

64. Whenever any cause is ready for hearing, and the parties,
their solicitors or guardians, shall sign an agreement and file it
with the clerk, that the case be submitted for decision to the
judge of the court where the suit is pending, such judge shall
pass a decree, and such decree shall have the same effect as if
passed at the regular term of the court.

65. Where a sale has been made by an executor under a sup-
posed authority derived from a will, the court may, at its dis-
cretion, confirm such sale, on heaving of the parties interested,
or ex parte, in cases where a bill might be taken pro confesso.

66. Where any person dies and leaves real or personal property
to be sold for the payment of debts, or other purposes, and shall
not appoint any person to sell and convey the same, or if the
person appointed dies, or neglects or refuses to execute such
trust, the court, upon the petition of any person interested in the
sale of such property, may appoint a trustee to sell and convey
the same, and apply the money arising from the sale to the pur-
poses intended.

67. In all cases where the court shall decree that a deed of
any kind shall be executed, a trustee to execute such deed may
be appointed, and until such trustee shall execute a deed, the
decree itself, if passed in the county where the land lies, shall
have the same effect that the deed would if executed, but if
passed in another county, the decree shall have that effect if re-
corded in the county where the land lies within six months from
the date thereof.

68. Nothing in the testamentary law of this State shall be
construed in any manner to affect the general superintending
power of the courts having chancery jurisdiction with respect to
trusts.

69. A suit in chancery may be maintained for a legacy, in cases
where a bond has been given to pay debts and legacies.

70. No guardian shall diminish the real estate of his ward for
the maintenance or education of such ward, without the ap-
probation of the court having equity jurisdiction, and the
Orphans' Court.
