      the assignee, or on petition of the assignee himself, showing sufficient
      reason  therefor, and after due notice of not less than five days to the
      assignor, assignee, surety and  such  other  person  as  the  judge  may
      prescribe,  remove or discharge the assignee, and appoint one or more in
      his place, and order  an  accounting  of  the  assignee  so  removed  or
      discharged,  and  may  enjoin  such  assignee  from interfering with the
      assignor's estate, and make provision by order for the safe  custody  of
      the  same,  and  enforce  obedience  to  such  injunction  and orders by

      also  require and compel, from time to time, supplemental inventories or
      schedules to be made and filed within such time as he  shall  prescribe,
      and to enforce obedience to all orders by attachment.
