101. An administrator shall discharge all just claims known
to him, 6r pay each claimant his just proportion of the money
then in his hands, (retaining as herein directed,) within thirteen
months from the date of his letters, or within such further time,
not exceeding four months longer, as shall be allowed by the
orphans' court, on his making oath that he hath reason to appre-
hend that the personal estate and assets which are or shall be in
his hands will be insufficient to discharge the just debts of and
claims against the deceased; it shall likewise be his duty, once in
every term of six months, after the first distribution, to make a
distribution of the money which hath since come to his hands,
until he shall have fully administered, and on failure, his admin-
istration bond may be put in suit.

102. In all cases where an administrator is to make payment
or distribution amongst the creditors of his decedent, he may
give notice three successive weeks previously in some convenient
newspaper, of the time and place for making it; and in case the
creditor shall not attend in person or by agent or attorney to re-
ceive the amount or proportionable part of his claim, all interest
on such claim, or proportionable part, shall cease from that time;
provided, that the administrator shall at any time thereafter, on
demand, pay the said claim or proportionable part to the party,
his agent or attorney duly authorized; and whenever the admin-
istrator shall proceed to make an additional payment or dividend,
he may advertise as aforesaid, and interest shall stop as aforesaid;
and if, at any additional dividend, a just claim, established as
hereinbefore directed, shall be exhibited, the creditor shall be
entitled to such sum as will place him on equal footing with
those who have already received a dividend.
