The dcrelictlon of guardians having become
SO conspicuous and ilagrant, the Register Of Wills
deemed IL his duty 10 submit TO the court the
dition of the docket of the Probate court.
Justice Macarthur has decided TO take prompt
steps TO check the rcmissness of guardians aud
win proceed at once to cause every de-
linquent guardian TO make return of his or
her trust, and render their accounts in accord
ance with law. II is the intention Of the court to
countenance no further delay but have all settle
ments made promptly. In oil cases of default the
Register will be directed TO issue citation against
the guardian and his bond which will be followed
| by attachment If the circumstances warrant.
So much latitude has been permitted guardians
| that II has been taken advantage of in some in
stances 10 the deriment OF wards and the Justice
has determined in the future to hold all guardians
| 10 n strict accountability of their trust
