and reasonable, to be paid to such orphan or orphans, on pain of
being trespassers, and paying treble damages and full costs to such
orphan or orphans, to be recovered by the guardian during the
orphans' minority, or by the orphan when at full age.

[213] 45. Procedure against guardian in case of waste.

Whenever the orphans' court shall be in any manner informed of
any waste being done by any guardian upon any orphans' estate, the
said court shall issue their warrant to cause such guardian to appear
before them; and if upon the said guardian's appearance before
them, and being heard in his defense, or on his refusal to appear,
being summoned, such information shall appear to be true, the said
court shall order the sheriff, with all possible speed, to summon a
jury upon the place where the waste shall be committed to inquire
upon their oath into the same, and of what damage such waste shall
be to such orphan, which being returned to the said court, they are
hereby required to oblige the guardian to give security for double the
damages that shall be assessed by such jury, and in case of refusal,
to commit such guardian to prison, there to remain until he shall
comply with their order therein.
