CHAPTER 217.
A Further Additional Supplement to the act, entitled, An
act for amending and reducing into system the Laws and
Regulations concerning last Wills and Testaments, the
duties of Executors and Administrators, and the Rights
of Orphans, and other Representatives of deceased per-
sons.
Sec. 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Maryland, That
in all cases in which the executors or administrators of any deceas-
ed person have received, or shall hereafter receive, any sum or
sums of money for interest on money due and owing for property
sold by them, by order of the orphans court of any county in this
state, that such money shall be considered as assets belonging to
the estate of such deceased, and shall be accounted for by them, in
the same manner as other assets are directed to be accounted for
by the original act to which this is a further additional supplement.
2. And be it enacted, That in all cases in which the executors or
administrators of any deceased person have received, or shall here-
after receive, any sum or sums of money, for the hire or use of any
slaves or servants belonging to the estate of such deceased, during
the time in which the said executor or administrator may be entitled,
by law, to the possession of such shares or servants, that such mo-
ney shall be considered as assets belonging to the estate of such de-
ceased, and as such shall be accounted for, and a due allowance
shall be made to such executor or administrator for all expenses
incurred by him or her in the support and maintenance of the ne-
groes belonging to such estate; Provided, that nothing in this act
contained shall apply to or affect executors or administrators who
may have completed and settled the administration on the estates of
their testators or intestates before the passage of this act.
5. And be it enacted, That any person interested in the estate of
any security of an executor or administrator, shall have the same
right and privilege to call upon such executor or administrator, for
counter security, in the same manner as a security to an executor
or administrator now can, and the same proceedings shall be there-
on had as if the application had been made by a security to an ex-
ecutor or administrator, according to the provisions of the original
act to which this is a further additional supplement.
4. And be it further enacted, That, hereafter it shall be lawful for
the register of wills of the several counties in this state, to grant or
issue letters of administration, during the recess of the orphans
court of the several counties.
5. And be it enacted, That all letters of administration which have
been heretofore granted by the register of wills in the recess of the
orphans courts of the several counties in this state, and all proceed-
ings under such letters of administration, are hereby confirmed,
and made as valid as they could or would have been had such let-
ters of administration been granted by the orphans courts of the se-
veral counties.
