[208] 40. Same—Liability of removed guardian for failure to de-
liver property.

Whenever the orphans' court for any cause shall revoke the
guardianship of any guardian, and there be no remaining guardian,
they shall appoint a new guardian; and if the party whose guardian-
ship is revoked shall not, within a reasonable time to be fixed by the
court, deliver over to the remaining guardian (if there be one, if not,
then to the new guardian) all the property of the ward remaining
in the hands of the party whose guardianship is revoked, and also
all the books, bonds, notes and evidences of debt or funds, and also
all title to property or stock which belong to or are due to the ward,
in the possession of the guardian, and also pay over to the remaining
guardian (if there be one, if not, then to the new guardian) all the
money due to said ward, the said court may compel the delivery and
payment over as aforesaid by attachment and sequestration of the
property of the party whose guardianship may be revoked, and may
direct his bond to be put in suit.

[209] 41. Validity of payment or delivery to guardian irregularly
appointed—In general.

Where any infant shall be entitled to any legacy or distributive
share of an estate, or any personal property in the hands of an ad-
ministrator, and a guardian for such infant has been or may be ap-
pointed by any orphans' court of this State, whose appointment,
however, has been irregularly made, and is or shall be liable to be
revoked or declared void for any cause whatever, but shall not have
been revoked or declared void, any payment or delivery to such
guardian of such legacy, distributive share, or personal property by
such administrator, shall have the same force, validity and effect as
respects such administrator as if said guardian's appointment were
regularly made, and not for any cause liable to be revoked or de-
clared void.

[210] 42. Same—Liability of guardian to account.

Every such guardian so receiving money or other property belong-
ing to his ward shall be liable to account for the same, to be recovered
by suit on his guardian's bond or otherwise, as provided by law in
case of guardians duly and regularly appointed.

[2113 US. Final account and delivery of property; suit on bond for
failure to account.

On a ward's arrival at age, the guardian shall exhibit a final ac-
count to the orphans' court, and shall deliver up, agreeably to the
court's order, to the said ward, all the property of such ward in his
hands, including bonds and other securities; and on failure, his bond
may be put in suit, and he shall be liable to attachment and fine not
exceeding three hundred dollars.

[212] 44. Entry upon or occupation of ward's lands without au-
thority.

It shall not be lawful for any person whatsoever, not being guard-
ian, or not having license from a guardian, to enter into, possess or
occupy any lands or tenements belonging to any orphan or orphans,
