( 2 ) Where it is proved that any paper of the deceased, being
r purporting to be testamentary, is in the possession or under
die control of any person, the Court may, whether a suit or
oceeding respecting probate or administration is pending or
not order him to produce the paper and bring it into Court.
/C Where it appears to the Court that there are reasonable
rounds for believing that any person has knowledge of any
paper, being or purporting to be testamentary (although it is
not shown that the paper is in his possession or under his con
trol), the Court may, whether a suit or proceeding for probate
or administration is pending or not, order that he be examined
respecting it before the Court or elsewhere, and that he do attend
for that purpose, and may after examination order that he do
produce the paper and deposit it in Court.

property or estate of a deceased person does not exceed one

of administration, or other formal proceeding, pay thereout any
debts or charges, and pay, remit, or deliver any surplus to such
persons, subject to such conditions (if any) as the Court thinks
proper, and no Judge or officer of the Court shall be liable to any
action,'suit, or proceedings in respect of anything done under
this Article. Every proceeding of the Court under this Article
shall be recorded in the Minutes, as if the matter were a civil
action.
