152. No administrator shall he bound in any manner to discharge
and fulfil the duties of guardian after the close of hig administra-
tion, or after the end of three years from the granting of such
administration, nor after a guardian shall be appointed by the
orphans' court; and whenever an administrator is ready to pay
over any money and there is no guardian of the person entitled who is
under age, the several orphans' courts of this State may order that such
money shall be deposited in any bank, savings bank, safe deposit com-
pany or other corporate body to be named in the order, in which it may
draw interest in the name of the person entitled, subject, however, to
the order of such court, where it shall remain, and the administrator
shall retain the book of deposit or receipt for such deposit, until such
person becomes of age to receive it, or a guardian be appointed, and
such order and the deposit made in pursuance thereof shall be a release
to such administrator.
Ibid. sec. 152. 1888, art. 93, sec. 153. 1860, art. 93. sec. 153.
1820, ch. 174, sec. 2.
153. When a guardian or guardians shall be appointed to such
infant, or the said infant shall arrive at age, or if a female be mar-
ried—whichever shall first happen—the administrator shall render to
the orphans' court an account on oath of the manner in which the duties
imposed by the two preceding sections have been discharged, in the
same manner and upon the same principles as guardians are hereafter
required to settle their accounts, and subject to the like control and
authority of the court in all respects; and the said account shall be
separate and distinct from the administration of the personal estate of
the deceased; and the orphans' court shall thereupon pass an order
directing such administrator to pay over to the guardian or guardians,
or to the person entitled, as the case may be, any money remaining in
his hands belonging to such infant, which shall have arisen from the
profit of the real estate belonging to such infant, and also to deliver
over to such guardian or guardians, or person entitled, the real estate
of such infant; and upon neglect or refusal of the administrator to obey
such order, or to return an account as herein directed, his administra-
tion bond shall be liable to be sued by such guardian or guardians, or
person entitled, and the orphans' court may moreover proceed against
him by attachment and sequestration.
Ibid. sec. 153. 1888, art. 93, sec. 154. 1860, art. 93, sec. 154. 1798, ch.

154. Every natural guardian, or guardian appointed by last will
and testament of the estate or property of infants shall give bond, with
securities to he approved by the orphans' court, as directed in the next
succeeding section.
