of such infant, which said guardian or guardians shall give bond with
security in the same manner as if such infant resided in this State.

case he hag property in this state. Baldwin v. State, 89 Md. 600. See also,

Inventory and List of Debts.

1904, art 93, sec. 204. 1888, art. 93, sec. 204. 1860, art. 93, sec. 204. 1798, ch. 101,

sub-ch. 6, aec. 1.

205. In every case wherein letters testamentary or of administra-
tion or of collection are granted, in order that all persons interested in
the personal estate may have an opportunity of knowing as nearly as
may be the amount of the same, an inventory (in case the estate lies
in one county, or can conveniently be collected together), or inven-
tories (in case the property lies in more than one county, or cannot con-
veniently be collected together), shall be returned to the office granting
the administration.

Title to the decedent's property vests in the administrator. An inventory
may upon application to the orphans' court be corrected, but that court
can not pass on questions of title to personal property, save those provided
for by section 244. Purpose of this section. Fowler v. Brady, 110 Md. 207.

The failure to return an inventory is not sufficient evidence to charge the
administrator with a debt of the intestate. Leeke v. Beanes, 2 H. & J. 373.
Cf. Proprietary v. Gibbs, 1 H. & McH. 58.

As to the appraisal of real estate, see art. 81, sec. 124.

Ibid. sec. 205. 1888, art. 93. sec. 205. 1860, art. 93. sec. 205. 1798, ch. 101,

206. The orphans' court or register of wills of the counties of the
State, on granting letters testamentary or of administration, or of col-
lection shall issue a warrant or warrants under their seal of office author-
izing two persons of discretion, not related to the deceased nor inter-
ested in the administration, to appraise the goods, chattels and personal
estate of the deceased known to them, or to be shown by the executor,
administrator or collector.*

The orphans' court has power to appraise only under this section and section
159, and under article 81, section 128. Hence, where a will directs an
appraisement and certain property to be taken at such appraisement but
fails to name the appraisers, equity alone can name them. Magin v. Niner,
110 Md. 302.
