107. No creditor shall bring a suit upon an administration or testa-
mentary bond for any debt or damages due from or recovered against the
decedent before a non est on a summons is returned against the adminis-
trator, or a fieri facias returned nulla, bona by the sheriff of the county
where the administration was granted, or where the effects of such deceased
lie, or such othes apparent insolvency or insufficiency of the estate of such
administrator as shall, in the judgment of the court, render such credi-
tor remediless by any other reasonable means save that of suing such bond.
This section limits the broad language of sec. 103. This section is applicable to
creditors whose debts have been established, and a declaration must allege a com-
pliance with prescribed conditions. Mertens v. Moore, 108 Md. 637. As to allega-
tions of narr., see also Dorsey v. State, 4 G. & J. 477; Laidler v: State, 2 H. & G.
280; Seegar y. State, 5 H. & J. 488. Cf. Laidler v. State, 2 H. & G. 282.
For a replication to a plea setting up a failure to comply with this section held
sufficient as demonstrating that creditor was remediless save by suing bond, see
Iglehart v. State, 2 G. & J. 245.
The act of 1720, ch. 24, is to be liberally construed—design thereof. Although
administrator be returned non est, if before suit brought on bond he voluntarily
appears, such suit on bond cannot be maintained. State v. Jones, 8 Md. 91.
This section has no application where the bond is simply conditioned upon the
payment of all debts, legacies, etc. Duvall v. Snowden, 7 G. & J. 433.
This section has no application in creditors' suit. Emory v. Seth, 2 Bl. 542.

dock, 16 Md. 531.
