Where such wages are paid to the chancery clerk as provided in Sections 91-7-323 and 91-7-325, it shall be the duty of the chancery clerk to pay that portion of the wages of such employee which may belong to the adult children or brothers and sisters of such deceased employe, and to report to the next term of the chancery court who are the minor brothers or sisters or children of said employe and how much is coming to each one of the heirs of said employe. Thereupon the chancery court shall enter an order upon the minutes of the court, directing the payment by the chancery clerk of the shares of such minor children or brothers and sisters of such deceased employe. In any case where the employer shall pay such wages to the chancery clerk, he shall be discharged from all further liability. For receiving and disbursing the wages which may be paid to him, the clerk shall receive the commissions allowed to administrators and executors for collecting and distributing moneys belonging to the estate of a decedent.
