414 WILLIAMSON r. WILSON.—1 BLAND.
by an attachment on their failing to shew good cause, than in sub-
jecting them to an action at common law for the recovery of a
debt due b,i their intestate, in respect of the assets which may
have come to their hands. I shall therefore allow them to be pro-
ceeded against in the like summary manner as would have been
permitted against their intestate himself were he now alive.
Whereupon it is ordered, that John Scott be and he is hereby
appointed a receiver in the place of the late Jacob Schley, with
full power and authority to act in all respects as Schley could or
might have acted; that before John Scott proceeds to act as a re-
ceiver by virtue of this order, he shall give bond to the State of
Maryland in the penalty of thirty thousand dollars with a surety
or sureties, to be approved by the Chancellor, for the faithful per-
formance of the trust reposed in him by this order, or which may
be reposed in him by any future order in the premises; and that
John Scott shall be allowed no commission for his trouble in re-
ceiving and distributing any property or money which may come
to his hands under this order as receiver.
And it is further ordered, that Anna B. Schley, John J. Mayer.
and Henry Schroeder. Jun 'r, administrators of the late Jacob Schley,
make report and render unto this Court a full and fair account of
all the property or money which may have come to the hands of
their intestate, the late Jacob Schley, and of all his proceedings
while he acted as receiver in this case; and also, that they ren-
der a full and fair account of all property and money which had so
come to the hands of their intestate, and which may be now in
their hands; and of their proceedings in relation thereto. And
the said administrators are hereby directed and required to yield
up, deliver over, and pay unto John Scott, so soon as he shall have
been qualified to act as receiver as before mentioned, all the
goods, wares, merchandise and mone\s, books, papers, and effects
of the firm of Wilson, *Williamson & Company, which
439 may have been received by their intestate, and have come
to their hands, or winch they may now hold, or have under their
control: Provided, that a copy of this order, together with a copy
of this petition be served on them, on or before the tenth instant,
to the end, that they may shew cause, if any they have, on the
first day of June next, why they should not fully and in all re-
spects comply with this order.
On motion it was also, on the same day, ordered that the
statements of claims heretofore made and reported by the
auditor, be confirmed, and the receiver directed to apply the pro-
ceeds accordingly; except as to all those claims, that had been at
all objected to by the auditor, or to the allowance of which any
exceptions had been filed, which claims were suspended until fur-
ther order.
