[201] 33. Same—Liability on failure to account.

On a guardian's failure to account, as herein directed, his bond
shall be liable to be put in suit, and he shall also be liable to attach-
ment and fine as aforesaid; but he shall not be liable to any fine in a
court of law.

[202] 34. Same—Where annual income does not exceed fifty dollars.

No register of wills shall, ex officio, issue any citation to any
guardian for the rendering of an account where the annual income
or profits of the estate of the ward shall not exceed fifty dollars.

[203] 35. Same—Administrator of deceased guardian.

In case of the death of any guardian before an account of his
guardianship shall have been settled with the orphans' court, it shall
be the duty of his administrator to render such account, showing
thereby the amount with which such guardian may be properly
chargeable, and the disbursements made by the deceased guardian;
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 guardian accounts are examined and recorded.

[204] 36. Same—Natural guardians or guardians appointed by
will.

Every natural guardian, or guardian appointed by last will and
testament, of the estate and property of minors, shall settle an ac-
count of his guardianship, and shall be under the like rules and regu-
lations hereinbefore prescribed for other guardians.

[205] 37. Revocation of appointment—Appointment of new
guardian.

The orphans' court may, in their discretion, upon the application
in writing of any guardian whom they may have appointed, revoke
the appointment of such guardian and appoint a new guardian or
guardians.

[206] 38. Same—Compelling delivery of property to new guard-
ian.

If any guardian whose appointment is revoked shall refuse or neg-
lect, in a reasonable time after demand, to deliver over to such new
guardian or guardians the property of his ward, the court may
compel the same by attachment, and may direct the bond of such re-
moved guardian to be put in suit.

[207] 39. Same—Liability of guardian whose appointment is re-
voked; revocation not effective until new guardian ac-
cepts.

Nothing contained in Sections [205 and 206] 37 and 38 shall be
construed to relieve the guardian whose appointment is revoked
from the liabilities of other guardians whose appointments are re-
voked; and such revocation shall be of no force and effect whatso-
ever until the newly appointed guardian shall have signified his ac-
ceptance of the appointment by filing in the orphans' court his bond,
in such penalty and with such sureties as the court shall approve.
