Advertisements for claims on the property of the deceased.

53. It shall be lawful for any assistant barrister, in any civil bill proceeding for a legacy or a distributive share of the property or assets of a testator or an intestate, to order the party suing to give notice, either by advertisement or otherwise, requiring persons having claims on the property or assets of the deceased to produce and verify such claims; and no such advertisement shall be charged with or liable to any duty; and all costs relating to such notice shall be borne and paid in such manner and by such parties as such assistant barrister shall order or direct; and the assistant barrister may, if he shall think fit to direct such notice to be given, adjourn the hearing of the civil bill to some future sessions, and from time to time as occasion may require, so as to allow sufficient time for publishing or giving such notice.
