dered to the orphans' court of the county by the party having
said repairs so done, setting forth in what way or manner such
expenses have accrued, showing the amount of expenditures in
repairs as aforesaid; and on such account being rendered to
the orphans' court, it shall be their duty to order such portion

of repairs in any case whatever, except where minors are
concerned.

accrue.
