exemplified copy of such qualification and appointment shall
be full proof in the Courts of this State of the legality of the
appointment and qualification of such guardian, committee
or trustee, and the Court, upon a bill or petition of such
guardian, committee or trustee, shall order a sale or sales of
the property of such non compos mentis located within this
State, if it shall appear to the Court to be for the best interest
of such non compos mentis, either at public or private sale,
but before a confirmation of such sale shall be made it shall
affirmatively appear to the Court that a notice to creditors, in
the usual form followed in equity, to file claim, if any they
have, has been given by public notice in one or more news-
papers published in the city or county where the property lies,
for at least thirty days, and in all other matters and things
the usual practice as to sales in equity shall be followed. After
the audit has been stated and confirmed the Court shall, upon
proper application by the guardian, committee or trustee,
direct that the net proceeds of any sale or sales be transferred
to the foreign jurisdiction wherein the non compos resides and
the guardian, committee or trustee was appointed.
