224. In case an inventory be returned by a collector duly appointed,
the administrator thereafter administering shall, within three months
after the date of the letters, either return a new inventory in place of the
collector's inventory or an acknowledgment in writing that he has received
from the collector the articles contained in the first inventory, or consent
to be answerable for the same as if the said inventory had been made out
after his administering upon the estate; but nothing herein contained shall
be construed to render an administrator answerable for not making a
return of the inventory aforesaid, when it shall appear to the court that
he has been prevented from making such return by the improper detention
of the goods of the deceased by the collector.
