distribution amongst the persons entitled could be made by them,

their opinion in writing, and the court shall thereupon order a
sale of such articles upon reasonable notice, and cause the proceeds
of such sale to be equally distributed among the parties entitled.

thereto entitled in the course of distribution, the orphans' court
shall, upon the passing of such account, pass an order directing
the executor or administrator to convey such chattels real to the
distributees or legatees thereof; and the executor or administrator
shall thereupon so convey the same to such distributees or legatees
by a proper deed, to be executed, acknowledged and recorded ac-
cording to law.

140. When any person entitled, after payment of debts, shall
be in want of subsistence, or greatly straitened in his circum-

straitened in circumstances, and that it probably will not require

part, the said petitioner giving bond, with security approved by
the court, to the administrator, for returning the same or an equiv-
alent, with interest, whenever so directed by the court, and the
court shall have power to determine in a summary way on any
such petition, after summons against such administrator duly re-
turned summoned or returned non est.
