222. It is not the intent of this article that an administrator
shall be answerable at all events for a debt which he shall return
sperate, but merely to enable the court and all parties concerned
to form a just estimate of the circumstances of the decedent.
Ibid. sec. 223. 1798, ch. 101, sub-ch. 10, sec. 4.
223. The court shall examine every list of debts returned by
an administrator, and for every debt which the court shall not.
mark as desperate or improper to be put in suit, the adminis-
trator shall commence a suit, unless the debt be paid within six
months thereafter, or unless the debtor be out of the State, or
unless the court shall think reasonable an excuse made within
one month after the lapse of the said six months for not bringing
suit; and on failure to bring suit as aforesaid, the party shall be
liable to a suit on his administration bond, and to such damages;
as shall be found by the jury.
