CHANCERY. 473

Since this section requires the court to distribute the proceeds of sale to the parties
entitled, in a proceeding under this section, where a deed under which a wife and
minor children claim is filed as an exhibit, it is not necessary that their claims
should be presented by next friends. Hewitt's Appeal, 55 Md. 517.

This section referred to in upholding the general powers of equity to appoint a
trustee where there is need of one. Dodge v. Dodge, 109 Md. 168. And see Dorsey
v. Thompson, 37 Md. 26; Davis v. Clabaugh, 30 Md. 510.

An. Code, sec. 95. 1904, sec. 91. 1888, sec. 80. 1785, ch. 72, sec. 13. 1826, ch. 159.

98. In all eases where the court shall decree that a deed of any kind
shall be executed, a trustee to execute such deed may be appointed, and
until such trustee shall execute a deed, the decree itself, if passed in the
county where the land lies, shall have the same effect that the deed would
if executed; but if passed in another county, the decree shall have that
effect if recorded in the county where the land lies within six months from
the date thereof.

Under this section, the court can direct the conveyance of an estate or the transfer
of a right, but not the making of personal convenants in the absence of the parties
to be bound and their privies. Hence, the court may appoint a trustee to execute
a renewal of a lease for 99 years, the owners of the reversion being non-residents,
but the non-residents cannot be bound by any personal covenant such as one for
renewal. Specific performance. Worthington v. Lee, 61 Md. 541. And see Hollander
v. Central Metal Co., 109 Md. 148 (note secs. 111 and 112); Warfield v. Valentine,
130 Md. 593.

This section has no application where a trustee sells property under a decree, but,
although the sale is ratified and the purchase price paid, fails to execute a deed to
the purchaser. Sanders v. McDonald, 63 Md. 508.

A decree directing executors to hold certain city stock as trustees for the use of
certain parties, held not to be notice by virtue of this section, of the will of the
testator and the interests of the cestui que trusts thereunder. Albert v. Savings Bank
of Baltimore, 2 Md. 167.

A trustee may be appointed to execute an assignment of patent if patentee fails
to execute such assignment, as directed by decree. Ager v. Murray, 105 U. S. 126.

This section applied in the case of a lunatic. Owing's Case, 1 Bl. 407.

99. Nothing in the testamentary law of this State shall be construed
in any manner to affect the general superintending power of the courts
having chancery jurisdiction with respect to trusts.

Equity has jurisdiction to superintend the administration of assets, decree dis-
tribution amongst legatees and distributees, and to compel executors and adminis-
trators to discharge their trust. Design of this section. Myers v. Forbes, 74 Md.
