administrator, or any person interested in the estate of any
such security or counter security, shall conceive himself in
danger of suffering from the securityship, he may apply to the
orphans' court which granted the administration, and the said
court may require the party to give counter security, to be
approved by the court; and if the party when so required shall
not, within a reasonable time fixed by the court, give such
counter security, the court may revoke his letters and appoint a
new administrator; and if the administrator whose letters are
revoked shall not, within a reasonable time to be fixed by the
court, deliver over to such new administrator all the property
of the decedent remaining in his hands unadministered, and also
all the books, bonds, notes and evidences of debt, which belong
to or are due to the decedent, or which have been taken by him
as executor or administrator since the death of the decedent, in
his possession, and also pay over to such new administrator all
the money due by him as executor or administrator of the
decedent, the court may compel the delivery and payment Over
by attachment and sequestration of property, and may also
direct the administration bond of such executor or adminis-
trator to be put in suit.
