commissions of executors within twelve months
from the grant of administration, and in all sub
sequent accounts wherein executors shall charge
themselves with further assets; and they shall
fix such commission in all cases in which letters

granted, whether commissions arc claimed by
the executor or not and all commissions 40 fixed

by the State Of Maryland. Hereafter all execu.
tors and administrators will be charged the same
proportiouste tsx for tbe use Of the State wh,t',
