195. Where any infant not residing in this State is entitled
to any property or estate, real, personal or mixed, or to any debts
or choses in action in this State, or due by or recoverable from
any person or persons, corporation or corporations in this State,
or from any estate upon which letters testamentary or of admin-
istration have been granted in this State, having no guardian
appointed in this State, but having a guardian appointed in the
State, district or territory in which the infant resides, duly quali-
fied according to the laws thereof, and who shall there have given
good and sufficient security for the faithful performance of his
trust as such, or in words to that effect, then, and in such case
the orphans' court of the county or city in this State in which
such property, or any part thereof, .of such infant may be
situated, or where such debts or choses in action, or any part
thereof may be due or recoverable, either wholly or in part, shall
pass an order authorizing and empowering such non-resident
guardian to take into his possession such property wherever
situated in this State, and to sue for and recover such debts or
choses in action, from all persons or corporations in this State,
and from all estates upon which letters testamentary or of
administration shall have been granted, and to act in all respects
as if such guardian had been duly appointed by some one of the
orphans' courts in this State; provided, however, that before any
such order shall be passed, such guardian shall first file a petition,
setting forth the fact that such non-resident infant is or claims to
be entitled to such property, debts or choses in action, as herein-
before mentioned, and shall also give bond, with security to be
approved by the said orphans' court, in the same manner as if
such infant resided in this State..
