after the date of his letters, exhibit to the Orphans' Court an inventory
as aforesaid, a summons returnable within not less than eight nor more
than thirty days, may, ex officio, or on the application of a person inter-
ested, be issued against such administrator or executor, to show cause
wherefore such inventory has not been exhibited or such administration
account has not been rendered; and if the summons be duly returned
"summoned, " or upon two citations returned "non est" by the sheriff of
the county wherein the party resided at the time of obtaining his letters,
or of the county wherein the letters were obtained, in case the party does
not reside in the State, and if he does not appear at the return of the
summons, or appearing, shall not show cause satisfactory, the court may
immediately enter on its proceedings and record that the letters be re-
voked, and may proceed to grant other letters in the same manner as if
such executor had not been named in the will, or as if such administrator
was not in existence; and the power of such executor or administrator
shall thereupon cease, and he shall be bound to deliver up, on demand,
to the person obtaining such letters, all the property of the decedent in
his hands, or be liable to be sued by such person on his administration
bond, and the Court may pass an order for the purpose.
