The judge of the circuit court may, in his discretion, for cause shown, remove any assignee or assignees and appoint another or others instead, who shall give such bonds as the judge, in view of the conditions and value of the estate, may direct; and such order of removal and appointment shall in terms transfer to such new assignee or assignees all the trust estate, real, personal, and mixed, and may be recorded in the deed records in the office of register of deeds of any county wherein any real estate affected by the assignment may be situated. Such judge may by order, which may be enforced as upon proceedings for contempt, compel the assignee or assignees so removed to deliver all property, money, choses in action, book accounts, and vouchers, to the assignee or assignees so appointed, and to make, execute, and deliver to such new assignee or assignees such deeds, assignments, and transfers as such judge may deem proper, and to render a full account and report of all matters connected with such trust estate.
