An executor or administrator shall not remove any of the property of the estate out of this state. If a chancellor or clerk of a chancery court shall be satisfied, by petition or otherwise in term time or vacation, that any executor or administrator is about to remove the property of the estate out of this state, he shall issue a precept to the sheriff of the proper county, commanding him to seize the property about to be removed and hold the same until legally disposed of; and the letters of such executor or administrator may be revoked, on due notice, and administration de bonis non granted to some other person. In case of any such removal, suit may be forthwith instituted on the bond by any of the distributees or creditors of the estate; and, on satisfactory evidence of the removal of the property out of the state, judgment shall be rendered for the full value thereof and such other damages as the parties suing shall have sustained.
