66 CHANCERY. [ART. 16

to apply to all cases including bills of review, bills of interpleader
and supplemental bills.
Hardester v. Sharretts, 84 Md. 149.

1890, ch. 472.

112 A. Where a non-resident of this State has died, upon
whose personal estate no letters testamentary or of administration
have been issued by any orphans' court or register of wills of this
State, but upon which estate such letters have been issued by a
court of probate or other proper authority in some other State,
territory or foreign country, it shall be sufficient in any case in
chancery in this State now pending or hereafter to be instituted,
in which said decedent or his executor or administrators was or
would be a proper party defendant, to make such foreign exec-
utor or administrator a party defendant thereto, and the making
of such foreign executor or administrator a party defendant to
such case shall give the court the same jurisdiction over the per-
sonal estate of such decedent as if an executor or administrator
of such decedent to whom letters testamentary or of administra-
tion had been granted by an orphans' court or register of wills of
this State had been made such party defendant, and said foreign
executor or administrator may in any such case, if a non resident
of this State, be proceeded against as provided for in cases of
other non-residents, or if within this State, by service of summons
upon him, or said foreign executor or administrator may volun-
tarily appear to the action, or otherwise become or be made a
party defendant as in cases of other parties defendant; provided,
however, that if letters testamentary or of administration of the
estate of such decedent shall after the making of such foreign
executor or administrator a party defendant, be granted upon the
estate of such decedent by any orphans' court or register of wills
of this State, the executor or administrator so appointed may
intervene in such chancery case, if the same be still pending, and
shall thereupon be substituted as a party defendant in place of
said foreign executor or administrator, and shall thereafter repre-
sent the personal estate of said decedent.

114. In all suits in chancery against non-residents or against
persons who may be proceeded against, as if they were non-resi-
