The word "administrator," in Code 1939, art. 93, secs. 253, 254, providing for requiring an administrator to return assets of the estate in his hands which he has omitted to return in the inventory, includes an executor.

Code, art. 93, sec. 254, in regard to proceedings to compel an executor or administrator to return assets of the estate in his hands which he has omitted to return in the inventory, allows an appeal in such proceedings only to the Circuit Court of the County or to the Superior Court of Baltimore City, the general right of appeal from the Orphans' Courts to the Court of Appeals, given by Code, art. 5, sec. 64, not applying.
