as "Bastardy Information Docket", in which shall be kept all
records and orders pertaining to each individual complaint.
10. Upon the death of the father after the passage of the
order, or after having given the bond prescribed in Section 5,
the Court may, upon the suggestion of the death of the said
father, summon the personal representative and heirs of the
said father and where a bond or a recognizance has been
given, as prescribed by Sections 5 and 5A, the sureties there-
on, if such parties be within the State, and the mother or
other person having charge of the said child, and upon proof
being offered to the Court of the amount of the estate of the
said decedent father, and upon any other points upon which the
Court desires to hear testimony, the Court may, in its discre-
tion, direct and order such sum or sums to be paid to the
mother or other person in charge of such child, for the main-
tenance and support thereof out of the father's estate as may
appear to the Court to be just and proper. In no case, how-
ever, shall the mother or other person in charge of said child
receive more than $500 or more than one-half the amount that
each of his legitimate children, if any, would receive, or more
than one-half the amount the descendants, if any, of a de-
ceased legitimate child would receive as a class, if the father
had died intestate. All money paid or ordered to be paid
under this section shall be charged as a debt or debts against
the estate of the said deceased father. Upon payment of the
sum or sums ordered to be paid by the Court under this sec-
tion, if a bond or recognizance has been given under Sections
5 or 5A, the same shall be cancelled and the sureties thereon
discharged.
Approved May 3, 1939.
