Syllabus

<p>[Marked to be reported.]</p> <p>Administration do bonis non — Money in bank.</p> <p>If personal property be found unchanged in the hands of the representatives of a deceased administrator, the administrator de bonis non may take possession of it, and convert it into money; but he cannot take moneys collected by the deceased administrator, or standing to his credit as administrator, for this would be to interfere with the settlement of the account and deprive the estate of the administrator of the means of reimbursement for payments made, and for services rendered.</p> <p>An administrator de bonis non is not entitled to recover from a bank the amount of a deposit which originally stood in the name of the intestate, but which the deceased administrator reduced to his possession by a transfer to his own credit, and which his administrator has since drawn out: Slaymaker v. Bank, 103 Pa. 616, followed; Stair v. Bank, 55 Pa. 364, distinguished.</p>
