137. Whenever a distribution of specific articles is to be
made, the orphans' court may appoint two disinterested per-
sons, not in any way related to the parties concerned, to make
such distribution amongst the persons entitled as to them shall
seem meet and proper; or if, in their opinion, upon a view of
such articles, no distribution amongst the persons entitled
could be made by them, which would operate equally, but a
sale thereof would be more advantageous to them, they shall
return to the orphans' court their opinion in writing, and the
court shall thereupon order a sale of such articles upon rea-
sonable notice, and cause the proceeds of such sale to be
equally distributed among the parties entitled.

shall, upon the passing of such account, pass an order direct-

the distributees or legatees thereof; and the executor or admin-
istrator shall thereupon so convey the same to such distributees
or legatees by a proper deed, to be executed, acknowledged and
recorded according to law.
