sale of the realty, if the personal estate be insufficient. Joseph v.
Mott, Prec. Chan. 79: Anonymous, 3 Atk. 572; Mould v. Williamson,
2 Cox, 386. And even if the bill be filed by one bond creditor
only for the satisfaction of his own particular debt, the constant
course, in England, is to direct an account of all the bond debts*
of the testator or intestate, with liberty to come in for satisfaction:
without which no decree for a sale can be, for as they have all a
lien against the heir, who is bound as well as the ancestor, they
are all entitled to receive satisfaction; and might otherwise sue
at law notwithstanding the decree for a sale; but it would be very
mischievous should the Court suffer another bond creditor, who has
not obtained judgment, after a decree for a .sale, to proceed against
the estate, as the effect of a sale could not be had during the con-
tinuance of the levari on the judgment which must be removed in
order to a sale. Marten v. Marten, 1Ves. 214. But as bond credi-
tors have an election to sue and obtain satisfaction from the exe-
cutor, or the heir, at common law, it is not often, in England, that
they proceed in equity; unless it be to have a discovery and account
of the rents and profits of the realty, or to obtain some other ad-
vantage which they cannot have at law. Curtia v\. Curtis, 2 Bro.
