215. Whenever personal property of any kind, or assets
not mentioned in any inventory already made, shall come to
the possession or knowledge of an administrator or collector,
an account or inventory of the same shall be returned, appraised
by two respectable disinterested sworn appraisers appointed
by any justice of the peace or judge of the orphans' court,
within two calendar months from the time of the discovery.

Ibid. sec. 214. 1860, art. 93, sec. 214. 1798, ch. 101, sub-ch. 6, sec. 11.

216. In case an inventory be returned by a collector duly
appointed, the administrator thereafter administering shall,
within three months after the date of the letters, either return
a new inventory in place of the collector's inventory or an
acknowledgment in writing that he has received from the col-

nothing herein contained shall be construed to render an
administrator answerable for not making a return of the inven-

been prevented from making such return by the improper
detention of the goods of the deceased by the collector.

obtained, in case the party doth not reside in the State, and if
he doth not appear at the return of the summons, or appearing,

enter on its proceedings and record that the letters be revoked,
and may proceed to grant other letters in the same manner, as
