226. Whenever after issues granted any party thereto dies, the court
to which they are sent may admit as a party to such issues the proper repre-
sentative, whether as to realty or personalty, namely, devisee, heir, execu-
tor or administrator of the party so dying in the place of such party, and
the orphans' courts shall have the same right at any time after filing a
petition before the issues are sent,

An. Code, sec. 220. 1904, sec. 219. 1888, sec. 216. 1798, ch. 101, sub-ch. 6, sec. 14.

227. If there be more than one administrator named in the letters, any
one or more of them, on the neglect of the rest, may return an inventory,
and the administrator so neglecting shall not thereafter interfere with the
administration, or have any power over the personal estate of the decedent;
but the administrator so returning shall thereafter have the whole adminis-
tration, unless within two months after the return of the delinquent or
delinquents shall assign to the court some reasonable excuse, which it
shall deem satisfactory.

228. Whenever the decedent shall leave a widow, or child, or grand-
child, his wearing apparel shall be exempt from appraisement, and shall
belong to the child or children of the decedent; and if no child or children,
to the grandchildren; and if there be neither child nor grandchild, to the
widow of the decedent; and his administrator shall divide the same among
them (if there be more than one entitled) as he may think equitable and
proper; but wearing apparel shall not include watches or jewelry of any
description.

This section contemplates jewelry being included in appraisement (but see sec.
231). Salabes v. Castelberg, 98 Md. 651; Snively v. Beavans, 1 Md. 221.

An. Code, sec. 222. 1904, sec. 221. 1888, sec. 218. 1841, ch. 178, sec. 2. 1845, ch. 357, sec. 3.

229. The provisions which at the death of any decedent shall have
been laid up for the consumption of his family, on his home or mansion-
house farm, shall not be sold or included in the inventory of his estate, but
shall remain for the use of the family of such decedent.

This section referred to—see notes to art. 46, sec. 3. Wilson v. Jarrell, 137 Md. 566.

An. Code, sec. 223. 1904, sec. 222. 1888, sec. 219. 1841, ch. 178, sec. 2.

230. With the exception of the articles enumerated in the two preced-
ing sections, all the assets of the deceased shall be included in such
inventory.

Title to the decedent's property vests in the administrator. An inventory may
upon application to orphans' court be corrected, but that court cannot pass on
questions cf title to personal property save those provided for by sec. 253. Purpose
of this section. Fowler v. Brady, 110 Md. 207.
