CHAPTER 203.
A Further Supplement to the act, entitled, An act for amend-
ing and reducing into system the Laws and Regulations
concerning Last Wills and Testaments, the duties of
Executors, Administrators and Guardians, and the rights
of Orphans and other Representatives of deceased per-
sons.
Sec. 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Maryland, That
every natural guardian or guardians appointed by last will and
testament, of the estate or property of minors, shall give bond,
with securities to be approved by the orphans court; shall settle
the accounts of their guardianship, and shall be under the like
rules and regulations as are prescribed by the original act to which
this is a supplement with respect to other guardians.
2. And be it enacted, That the orphans court shall have au-
thority to empower any guardian to sell any leasehold estate be-
longing to his ward, if the court shall think such sale advantageous
to such minor, and shall order the proceeds of such sale, or any
surplus money belonging to said minor or orphan, to be invested
in bank stock, or any other good security, which investment shall
be made in the name of the minor or orphan, and that no sale,
transfer or disposal of the stock, of such minor or orphan, shall
be made without the concurrence of the orphans court.
3. And be it enacted, That in case of the death of an executor
or administrator before an account of his administration shall
have been settled with the orphans court, it shall be the duty of
the executor or administrator of the one so dying, to render such
account, shewing thereby the amount of assets received, and the
payments made by the deceased executor or administrator, and the
account so rendered shall be examined by the court, and if found
to be correct shall be admitted to record in the same manner that
other administration accounts are examined and recorded,
4. And be it enacted, That whenever any joint administrator or
executor shall apprehend they are likely to suffer by the negligence
or misconduct in the administration, improper use or application
of the assets of the estate, by any executor or administrator,
they shall make complaint thereof to the orphans court, and if the
same shall be adjudged well founded, the court shall have authority,
in their discretion, to revoke the powers and authority of the
executor or administrator so complained of, and to enforce by
attachment and commitment if necessary, the surrender and de-
livery to the remaining executors or administrators of the assets
of the estate, and of all books, accounts, papers and evidences of
debt, of the estate, that may be in the possession or controul of the
person so dismissed from the administration, and the remaining
